My Old man used a model 54 in 30-06 for everything including Mt.Goat and Dall Sheep in Alaska.He hauled a M1 Garand around for 4 years in all kinds of terrain and weather and figured just about anything was light weight after that.In the late 40s there was not any specialized equipment for hunting Mountains and Cold weather hunts.He had his Army Down sleeping bag and that was as high tech as he was.So what I am saying is 4 oz don`t mean chit.


Its all right to be white!!
Stupidity left unattended will run rampant
Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
