Here's a lousy photo of a great rifle, a plain old pre-64 fwt 30-06 in a compact edge stock. The bare rifle is just under 6 pounds, just under 7 as it sits here, and as Bob said balances like a fine shotgun. Using rifles don't get any better than this.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
