A guy like you should be bragging up your pre 64 fwt's. Not the kimber's.. I have a couple good fwt's so not all of my rifles are heavy. I just don't biotch about packing or carrying any rifle or pack. It's just part of hunting. You're not the only one with nice fwt's here.. wink. Plus, you'd have to break both my arms to take my Alaskan and 375 H&H away. You should get some of those to round out your model 70 collection. I'll also let you in on a little secret. The 7 3/4 -8 pound rifles soak up more recoil than a 6 pound kimber. I was shooting my micky stocked 300 wsm EW tubed FN, my classic sporter 7mm rem mag and pre 64 30-06 fwt the other day and managed to fire off 120 rounds (40 rounds per rifle) of ammo in a few hours. You can't do that very comfortably with a 6 pound 300 magnum Kimber.
