    RIFLE WEIGHT 6.5 vs. 7 lbs.

    Lightest gun I ever shot was a 7 lb. all up tikka in .270. Had no real problems shooting it, but it got stolen. Thinking about a kimber hunter at 6.5 lbs. all up. Ya'll think 1/2 pound lighter would be significantly more difficult to shoot as in holding the rifle steady? I don't think recoil...

    Bottom metal

    I see a lot of talk here about lightening rifles like the Tikka T3 Lite by putting an ultra lite stock like a McMillan Edge on it, but if you do that with the idea of shaving off 4 or 5 .oz, don't you then add a couple .oz plus maybe a couple hundred more dollars on new bottom metal? I never see...

    Bear meat

    Im now interested in bear hunting. Black bears to be exact. Once you kill one, & its boned out, can you hang it in the cool shade for a couple a days like you may hang venison?
