I haven’t been on a real “backpack” hunt yet, hoping to do that on my first western hunt this year or next. But most of my hunting does involve going several miles into public land. My go-to has become my Remington Model 7 with a Weaver 2-7x. Rifle and scope are about 7lb 2oz currently. I’m looking at getting a lighter stock that’ll bring me down to about 6.5lbs though. The gun is a real shooter.
