Apologies to Ripp.I seem to have confused myself SharpsNitro!.

With the weight factor it can come down to the keenness and fitness of the hunter. I did a couple of very tough walk in Tahr hunts in NZ,both with standard weight rifles and I can say that if I had of saved a pound or a pound and a half it wouldn't be noticed,not in those mountains.
I would carry a target rifle if it meant a chance at another Tahr.A reasonable rifle with a fairly high budget scope is a better outfit imo if one is fund short...but then that old Tasco will do the job too...good hunters get closer!

I didnt actually say one should limit the rifle budget,I meant to convey that one doesn't have too.
