I never understood the "light rifle" craze. Personally, I'd rather have a rifle that is a bit on the heavy side. It is steadier for me, easier to shoot accurately, and doesn't have as much recoil. I guess I'm still fairly young and still have lots of energy. I may change my tune when I'm 60. For me something in the 9 - 10 pound range feels best.
Try stalking with an M1 Garand......By noon time you feel like tossing it in the first lake you come to..
