Congrats,
Your "H" Tropical with the "C" contour BBL. should feel a little heavier than your Medium Sporter .45-70 Govt. but not nearly as bad as any of the other Tropicals which are "D" contour BBLs and feel like your hauling around an axle with a stock!
My .375 H&H SS/Laminate is totable, while not as light as the Medium Sporters, it is manageable.
Careful!! your starting down the road of the Ruger No.1 fanatic! One, then two, then soon it will be 16.
Best of luck with your new No.1!!
Mitch
