Talk me out of buying a new rifle?

[schmidty3]

But it's 1.5 lbs!

Fair point. Rice and beans for a month or two!

It's never just the rifle , it's a new trigger , mounts , dies , maybe a stock ......But I say go for it ,

For what its worth (i don't have exact weights but within a few OZ) my 73yo dad went from a 10lb rifle to a 5.5lb (howa superlite) all in and he is in absolute love.

If I matched right that's $12.50/oz

In the hunting world where people will throw down $100/oz and be very happy, I say buy new and sell the old.

This is sound logic and why I'm struggling with the whole thing.
It's $41/oz if I kept the old rifle which is still a bargain in backcountry weight saving terms.

Take a dump before hiking up the mountain there’s your 1.5 pounds. If you want a new rifle buy one and go do some killing! lol

I typically do, but I actually lose about 10+ pounds.

Where are you finding a roughtech for $1000?

Edit: europtics?

 

[eldeuce]

No, I won't ;-)

Always need one more gun…..just in case!

Lose the suppressor. Buy earplugs.

10 bucks saves you 9 ounces.

Yep. I thought it seemed like a pretty good deal which is why all this came up. Pretty good deal?
Scopelist I think also had them same price.

But I have to justify owning all these dang things!
...and I could lose the suppressor and buy a lighter rifle and be over 2 lbs less!
