Thread: So when is a rifle too heavy?

Depends on how far you'll having to carry it lol

My first centre fire weighted nearly 11lb with it's bloody bi pod & I carried it high'n'low, now days my mountain rifle weighs well under 7lb & my 338 Edge weighs 9.75lb.

So for a general alround hunting gun, yes 8lb is plenty 8.5 - 9 with a suppressor max, balance & how nice it is to carry also comes into the equation though.
