Everyone knows that R's are too heavy to carry around in the woods. Some of us still walk about in the woods when we hunt you know. Still, gotta say that I really love my R. I can look at a target, close my eyes, bring up the rifle and the scope is dead on the target.

One good thing about an R forearm is it'll make good firewood in a pinch! Of course, a schnaubel forearm makes for good kindling! One reason I've become partial to 99's for hunting is the sheer handiness/light weight of the one's that I own. Not an R in the lot. (Doesn't mean I would pass one by though.) If I were going to start carrying a heavy rifle again I would go back to the pre-64 M70 '06 or one of my Springfields. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."

In the 30's you had the Spiegel EG's that were factory d&t, and the Weaver T-7 side mounts.
