Where is your overall pack weight at, with everything (food, rifle, etc).
Two spotters can be nice. Just don't know if its 6lbs nice.
My pack was at 70lbs last time I did a 3-day weekend hunt. That was stupid, and made it a lot less fun. The lighter your pack, the less you are going to slow your guide down. Not trying to be mean, but it is tough to keep up with a guy that lives in the mountains, and you can bet that his gear will be shaken out to just the stuff he needs.
On the upside, that isn't the heaviest rifle I've heard of someone packing up a mountain.
