Uh huh... that's why most of the experienced guys choose lightweight to mid-weight rifles for their calling rigs, right? Especially the more so if they hunt rough or steep country and hike 5 - 7 miles in a day of hunting over that type of terrain. The more experience they have with hard chargers the more they appreciate a quick handling responsive rifle rather than a fence post benchrester better suited to a prairie dog town.
TRUE THAT!
