AZkiller Report post Posted August 19, 2014 Dont believe the myth that light rifles will not shoot. And if you hunt hard, weight matters. What are all your categories that heavy rifles win in? The light gun can shoot just as good for a few shots. The heavy gun wins in stability every time. Its alot easier to shoot a heavy gun than light. If you dont think so then why does every experienced shooter that shoots competitively, bump right up next to the weight limit? More stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big or Bust Report post Posted August 19, 2014 We are talking shooting competitions here? If so, sure the heavier contour rifles have inherent benefits. It irks me that hunters think they have to carry 12 pound rifles to shoot 500 yards - Light done right is a very good thing - 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big or Bust Report post Posted August 22, 2014 I don't either. That's the range though that you can finally tell how good of a load you really have...grin... It's a blast to ring gongs way out there with rifles that weigh less than 7 pounds all up. It's nice to carry these same rifles way up and over the mountain too - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
