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.

Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.
