Thread: So when is a rifle too heavy?

When I was younger weight never worried me as I only had a basic unsuppressed 200m max distance rifle and would carry it to the ends of the earth without a complaint. Now with carbon fibre and titanium it would make my heavy long range Sako 75 Finnlite a lot lighter to carry during the 4-7 weeks off for the roar or Alpine top trips when I'm already carrying crampons, ice axe, rope, heavy duty tent etc. It doesn't help having a heavy 56mm objective Nightforce scope on top but I'll take the bomb proof reliability over a lighter scope. I only really notice the weigh after day 5.
