Thread: Where to trim weight (rifle)

get out the bathroom scales...place on kitchen floor..then stand on them.....yip there is probably the most weight loss to be gained right there (sure as shit is in my case) everyone should own a heavy rifle....carting it around makes you appreciate the other lighter rifles..which is where I BELIEVE you should head to..build/buy a different rifle for the bush/long carry trips in a completely different cartridge or one eggzachary the same...dont go close to it or will forever be umming and ahhhing either completely different so the jobs are obvious or the same so can use same ammo in a pinch.
maybe a .308 shortish suppressed??? it will do out to 300 but will excell inside 200......vs your current will do inside 200 but excells outside that.
or go 223 so the young fella can use it too!!!! that will be much easier to have light and still shoot well...although I prefer mine with heavier stock as shoot better/easier with it.
