At 40 lb you certainly wouldn't want to have carried to for 5-6 hours then sudenly have to get it into action for multiple shots. Can see the need for a gun bearer either with wheels or legs to take some of the muscle lagg out of the equation.

On another point, with your inletting advise, I can see my time to do so ( in my ameturish fashion) becoming more carefully and PAITENTLY used. Thanks for that.
