[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3061353, member: 75451"] I, when I was younger and in pretty darn good shape…..was running sub 3 hr. marathons 6 years before. I did a 10+ mile (each way) backpack hunt, carrying an 11+ pound rifle. That one trip convinced me that a lighter rifle would be in my near future. Presently, the past 34 years, I've found that 9 pounds is a decent compromise between portability and shootability was a rifle of fairly heavy recoil (60 ft/lbs). This is total weight, scoped, loaded, & slung….never use a brake or suppressor! At distance, I seem to be able to spot impacts….maybe not so much on close shots. memtb [/QUOTE]
