[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2408946, member: 63925"] There are SO MANY options to carry rifles easier than ever before that can allow you to carry "heavier" rifles. Slings have come a long way and have better options to lock rifle and distribute weight. If you are just chugging along, use good backpack designed to carry rifles. The key to carry heavier rifles is having better weight distribution in the carry. Frees up arms for trekking poles which I consider even more important than rifle weight. Trekking poles provides 4x4 balance and does help you carry more weight by using your arms to help power up or down or sideways. Earlier post said it best that depends on the person. If you are Sasquatch size, probably means nothing and worried more about how much food you can carry. Me! I just weighed a new build thinking just right. Yep 11.5 lbs. The point is evaluate other carry options that might help you carry heavier rifle and don't just rule it out because what the scale says it weighs. [/QUOTE]
