Having spent 5 days in the wilderness this spring bear hunting, I've decided I need to lighten my load. I'm currently shooting a 20" Tikka w/ Nomad can @ 8#13oz. I've already decided I'm going to ditch the can for these grueling back country hunts. This will bring down my weight to 7#14oz. I'm considering buying a Kimber Hunter to use on these more demanding hunts, but I'd like to see some real world weights first. I'll be using my SWFA 3-9 which weighs about 19oz. By my calculations, this will put me in the 7# range? Please tell me if I' way off, or just plan dumb to think 1# is really going to make that much difference.
