I know lightweight is all the rage today, but to me, an 8# rifle is about perfect. Make it a 270, and it is! But I would not complain about a 7.5# rifle either.
I have tried the lightweights and do not prefer them. But I am not a serious mountain hunter where every ounce counts.
Thank you JB and Chet for sharing. JOC is my favorite writer of all time, but JB, you come in second!
