[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 3061449, member: 68542"] All depends on the terrain and the need. My .300 win weighs 11 pounds all set. That includes a Burris Veracity 3-15, 26” barrel and brake, sling and bipod. Heavy but not the absolute worst. I packed this with the intent to cross-canyon a bear, and it worked beautifully. It sucked to carry out but I wouldn’t have gone any other way for that hunt. That build (for me) was definitely one to tie to my pack for most of the hunt, as it is a nose heavy rifle and tiring to carry in hand through brush. My all day carry around rifle is a BSA Majestic in .308. Loaded, scoped and slung it weighs 6 pounds 1 oz. Incredibly quick to point, carries like a dream, kicks more than it has any right too. For the heavy timber that we deer hunt in, it’s a perfect rifle. [/QUOTE]
