I picked up a nice Weatherby .70 this pastyear and used it fordeer hunting. I consider myself a decent shot but when recently confronted with a 200 yard standing shot I had a difficult time holding it on my target. At about $2.00 a shot I can't do an extensive amount of shooting and the Weatherby is quite a bit heavier than my previous synthetic rifle.

I would like to know if they work well indifferent terrains especially when I would need one "quickly." Do you find carrying them a big hassle and worth carrying one with you? What are all the pros and cons and if you were to recommend one, which one?

Maybe I should go back and use my lighter synthetic!

Thanks,

DD
