The extra work in the gym theory sounds good but somehow it doesn't work out in practise. I humped a 22 pound M-60 and 30 pounds of belted ammo ( along with a pack full of supplies) in the highlands of Vietnam for six months but now that I am old enough to receive Social Security and still hiking the wilderness of Alaska I prefer a lighter rifle. In my opinion the short, light little Ruger Alaskan in either 416 or 375 is the best wilderness rifle anyone has ever offered.




THE ABOVE being from someone who's there 24/7, holds weight.

On the other hand, I hunt fairly close to home and 10 pounds for my .375 isn't too bad. Was even thinking of using my 12 1/2 pound Sharps this fall. At 6'1" @ 240lbs. - I find it's not that heavy, but I'm not climbing mountains, either - pretty much flat where I hunt. Terrain mades a BIG difference along wiht how far you have to walk.
