I've got enough weight in the woods. Adding two pounds and eight inches to rifle while climbing mountains and trying to walk through dark timber chasing elk is not worth it to me. Midwest in a deer stand is a different story and definitely would be appealing.
While I cant speak on the 8inches, two pounds is the equivalent of skipping a meal or two in most cases or dieting a week. My can has an adapter where it quicker goes on and off. Dont have to walk around with it on all the time.
