I refuse to exercise for the sake of exercise. If Im getting fat and unfit its cos this "working for the man" is eating up my time.
when hunting I carry a heavy as walnut sako.
I see the point in a light "WHAT IF" pack rifle but never been introduced to fresh water fishing.

If I cant carry my 8 pound(I have no idea I just know its heavy compared some fancy mates rifles) all up of sako and scope how the hell am I going to carry meat or preferably the whole animal out?

I do see the point in a "maybe" rifle if your a fisherman,bird watcher,god Knows what.
For me I will just carry that heavy walnut stocked sako any time im legally allowed to. When the time comes that 8 or 12 pounds becomes too much I hope im in the bush somewhere............my family knows where to scatter my ashes

When I go rabbit shooting I tend to have the 22lr in my hands and a 223 Rem slung over the shoulders with the pack, just in case something else pops up. I don't mind a bit of weight, it helps with traction a lot of the time as I don't have the weight to push the boot cleats into the ground. Also don't get blown about quite so much by the wind. It is a lightish weight cheap mini mauser 223 mind you.
