Yes, I have wished for a lighter rifle, grin and that would be true on my goat mountains if it were made of Styrofoam! I was young, broke, strong and carrying a heavy 03-A3 in 30-06 in a heavy homemade walnut stock during my goat hunting days.

If you are going to buy, get the lightest one your budget can stand. It will work on deer when you get back and if you carry it, you will appreciate light weight on any game.
