I guess when I’m backpacking for a long period of time I’m mostly contemplating how I wish everything I had with me was lighter😂. So remembering that, a rifle that is light as possible and still muzzle heavy is my preferred rifle. My current long term ( actually living out of a backpack for 5 plus days) backpack rifle weighs 5 pounds 10 ounces. It’s a slightly lightened left hand Forbes 20b 7mm-08
