No not at you, in the other thread a few mention the SWFA SS scope. I have one and know it's not quite 2 lbs but my point is it's heavy. The gun rigged up as mentioned, will run around 11 lbs. it's just not needed for a calling rifle. Most of my called coyotes are killed under 100 yards. Maybe it's different for everyone else?
I've just hunted with too many people that use varmint rifles and sooner or later, we cross a fence or whatever, they heft my rifle and cry foul. I'm 6' 230 lbs, run 3.5 miles every other day and can carry a heavy rifle all day if I need to. I've yet to see a reason why I need to.
