While this thread is really about you guys having fun busting balls from both sides I carry a heavy gun because I am out of shape and a wuss.
An extra 16 ozs is not much when you are carrying it but it can make a world of difference when you need to make a difficult shot.
My goto rifles are 10.5 lbs unloaded and they have been to some pretty nasty places (for me) and I did not enjoy carrying them but I do like the extra reach.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
