Thread: So when is a rifle too heavy?

I'm pretty sure (well in my case anyway) when the ageing thing starts to kick in you seem ti like less weight across the arm,shoulders or where ever.
When I was doin a lot of walking,climbing etc back when bla,bla I was far from alone when it came to rifle weight.
30's were heavy = cut down etc. Most smaller calibers .222 for example were within the not so heavy to lug around group and as mentioned above, depended on the manufacturer.
For example the early BSA lightweights were on the cards for sure, early Majestic's,Hunter models even Monarchs.
The Sako vixens were like gifts from heaven to many,ok'sh weight and nice to use lol. I carried a BSA Hunter, then a Monarch,they did the job. I ended my bla'bla days using a Brno Fox, chasing around after the Thar.
I guess when ones arse is literally dragging on the ground in later life then it may be time to own something light weight..that's my take on it.
