Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting For what conditions would you put a heavy scope on a mountain rifle?

thanks for all the replies. I recently acquired a 6.5 RPM Weatherby Weathermark Bronze and will scope it with the 10X SS... I look forward to putting the rifle and the scope thru its paces... managed to also acquire 3 boxes of factory 127 LRX... I figure all up the setup will be about 7.5 lb
