These are all rifles the American hunter is likely to go out and buy. Judging from posts here and elsewhere, they are generally ill-regarded because of their weight- no sub-8 pound rifles in the bunch. Yet I doubt the 'average' (maybe above-average) big-game hunter is likely to give a second thought to rifle weight, or make his buying decision on weight alone.
"average" doesn't set the bar very high...
"average" is why we hate public sight-in day at the range.
so, yes, i can see the "average" big game hunter not giving a second thought about rifle weight.
Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.
