Yeah who the hell hunts with an 8.5 pound 270?
Probably me I haven't weighed mine but I have a vanguard w wood stock and a 3-9x40 Leupold which probably is awfully close to that weight. It dawned on me a couple of years ago that in the past 20 years I haven't hunted anything but a series of small farms of 200 acres or less and thus haven't been over probably 3/4 of a mile from the truck or the house at any given time usually less. In those conditions rifle weight isn't really a big issue.
