I mean carry in a pack on your persons, not via truck/ATV/horse/mule from location to location.

Wondering what everyones threshold is like.

Thx!


I am willing to carry a 7lb 14oz rifle because that is the six lug Mark V weighs with the Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 on it. But since my 6lb 14 oz 6.5SLR with a 27" barrel is back the .270 is in the case and in the safe until I rebarrel the 6.5 again. It has a Bushnell 4200 4-16X40 now. When the new 6500 4 1/2-30X50 gets here it will gain four ounces and weigh 7lb 2oz.
