My Sako 75 (not finnlight) with 30mm optilocks and a vx6 and 25 inch barrel could never be called a light weight but is still quite acceptable I think. Any of the custom gun crowd on here who have...

I seem to use the light weight rifle from the truck and carry the big'un if I'm walking. I find all the assistance I can get to push the cleats of my boots into the ground the less I slide.

You clearly haven't shot at any of Simons events, even the "easiest" stages of just standing here and shoot will challenge anyone who hasn't done that kind of event before. They may not be an...
