It depends on what you call heavy..Standard rifles come out of the mill weighing over 7# and after you scope/sling and load 'em up,weigh more than 8 lbs...
Is an 8.5 lb+ rifle considered heavy or do we need to spend booko's of money to lighten them up?

For me I would not do a serious elk hunt without having real 1000 yd reach out of my rifle.
For my limited shooting ability I need the gun to weight 10 Lbs unloaded to make that work, so I would most certainly not pay for more for a light weight rig.
It sucks to carry the heavier gun but it sucks even worse to miss the tough shots.

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