Western Montana Elk Rifle Weight

[LongWayAround]

I think you could carry just about anything for two or three miles a day.

If your backpack has a decent hip belt, look into the kifaru gun bearer. It beats the hell out of a sling.

My kids elk rifle is a Sig Cross 16.5" 22 creed (Montana legal)
6-24 Arken epl4 with UM rings
Just under 10lb

My gun is a 22" UM tikka with a maven rs1.2 that's just under 10lb.

That 9-10lb is a good weight. Can still shoot it easily and isn't too heavy.

Kids gun might get heavy for her but that's because she has a bunch of cool rocks and books in her pack
