My equipment and rifles differ depending on what and where I am hunting. My AZ elk rifle can be a little heavier because the physical requirements are not as demanding as my Utah mountain goat rifle. Spend some TIME on the mountain and then ask yourself if ozs. matter.


4 ounces doesn't matter.

And I've spent plenty of time in the mountains.


As much as 4 oz may or may not matter to some folks, IMHO, the way a rifle fits in my hand when I'm carrying it makes more difference than 4oz's.

I'd gladly add 4oz's to the 84M's barrel.
