I totally understand. Just giving you a hard time. For me, physical condition has been the hugest factor. I used to hunt in Newfoundland every year, and getting the lightest stuff possible helped me cover much more ground and hense at least get a shot. I packed around a few bull barrels and won't do it again. I am sure there is a comprimise. I got me a Sako 75 7mmSTW that I believe will be the right comprimise.
