I am planning on packing my CTR 6.5 this spring and fall here in Idaho. With 5 rounds it will be about 11 pounds. This will be about 2-2.5 pounds heavier than any rifle I have ever carried, but hoping the stability and LR accuracy it provides will be worth it. I am also planning on dropping an extra 10 pounds over what I usually am just to help out - cant hurt...lol.
