Once you learn how to shoot a lightweight rifle and then use them a season or two, you will know what the fuss is about. I was a lever fan for many years but converted after using a 338-06 ULW Weatherby, ever since none of my rifles go over 7 lbs all up. I don't hunt high mountains like the guys out west but still hunt and like the gun in my hands instead of on my shoulder especially after going over ridge after ridge or through cedar swamps
