Rick,
BS--though not on your opinion about rifle weight. Obviously you know what works for you.
I'm calling BS on: "Being frugal, I find myself wanting fewer rifles so I expect my primary hunting rifle to be versatile and do lots of things very well."
You're a rifle loony in need of a 12-step program. Since I've known you, you've gone from swearing off spending thousands on nifty custom big game rifles to reducing your "collection" to one or two. And then you've swung back the other way. You're like a yo-yo dieter, because like any real rifle loony you keep wondering about The Rifle That Will Change Your Life--and then go after it, again and again and again...
It takes one to know one.
