Have hunted goat and bighorn sheep as well as dragged one rifle or another of my 9 pound rifles over a lot of mountain terrain after other game. 11 pounds is something you will likely wish you had not taken. Of course, my rifles stay in my hands unless I really need my hands for sticking to the terrain, so heavier is just not attractive. Even these get to be a drag some days early in a hunt since I am much of a desk-jockey and don't carry that weight around all day most days.
One observation on NULA if you can shoot one before you buy, I recommend you do so. Some experience, observation, and measurement has informed me that the stock profile is different than an average Tika-ruger-rem-chester. If it works for you great. If not it may not fit you. They are light, so great to carry, but a heavy caliber may be unpleasant when it goes to work.
Hope you have a great hunt.
