Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting What rifle do you carry?

my having total faith in the dependability and effectiveness ,
in what I carry far out-weights any concern over rifle weight
Ive carried a SAKO 375 H&H on many back pack hunts
loaded with a 300 grain bullet over a stiff load of WW760 has never failed to drop a single deer or elk Ive shot, I
gladly accept the 8.5 lb weight and moderate recoil, after all you only need that one or two shots a season.

if a pound or two of extra rifle weight, keeps you from checking out the next ridge or canyon,
how in hell are you going to pack out 60-90 lbs of elk meat on several return trips,
from the spot you drop that elk?
