What Steelhead said. If you move thru the hills hunting for day carrying a rifle in one hand, the weight difference gets pretty obvious. After the 7 1/2# (all up) mark I start wishing for a lighter rifle on day long excursions. If your butt is bolted to a stand, then it doesn't really matter.
Bonefish, the odds are the NULA will shoot if you run some handloads thru it--and those are pretty good odds...the one I had in 280AI was more responsive to some loads than others
