I read you guys writing about shaving a couple of ounces here and there and I kinda scratch my head most of the time...


Most lever guns with irons would suck trying to sheep hunt in steep country at longish ranges.

The right tool for the job. Lightweight bolt-action rifles are great for people that actually carry them long-distances. I don't think most people buy them for prairie dog shooting from a bench.....

YMMV.
