Thread: So when is a rifle too heavy?

I got talked into taking my long range rifle on a goat culling trip in steep country 'to clean up the far away ones'. We never saw anything more than about 150 metres while on the hill! On the way out we spotted a couple at around 600 metres and about 45 degrees downhill. Two shots wasted! I was so knackered that I forgot to hold under. 14 lbs is way to much rifle weight when you are 69 and a smidge porky!
