I live in western SD. Not a lot of humidity out here. But I am not afraid to get out and hunt in snow/sleet/rain.
jimmyp has swayed me, as if I am going to be spending that kind of money, an AR based variant could work. I just do not want an rifle that weighs 9 plus pounds.
The Browning BAR Hog Stalker is 9.5 bare.
The MP10 is 7.7 pounds, I would like to keep it under 8.
A MP10 would be absolutely functional and some parts could be changed out at a later date for some weight savings. IF I decided it needed it.
