So I looked at a Ruger M77 Hawkeye rifle in 300 Win Mag today as I continue to search for a hunting rifle to do an elk hunt out west. This rifle was made in the 70s and to be honest it felt pretty good. The only problem is that she’s 10lbs before adding a scope, rings and ammo. So thinking 12-13 lbs all dressed out. I’m wondering if that’s too heavy for a hunt where’d we be moving a lot. I’m used to hunting deer from a stand or a single position and I’ve used my father’s old Savage 99 in 300 Savage. Pretty light rifle.
This hunt will be nothing I’m used too so weight will be a consideration. Plus to this rifle is the weight will dampen recoil. Negative is hauling the extra weight.
What say hunters?
