I suppose that could be arranged. Prolly be tomorrow.
I carried mine five miles in the October heat on an antelope hunt last year. The Harris bipods were on it, like always. I also had my Camelbak Hellion fully charged with nunn electrolytes and all hunting gear. It was heavier than I care to go mobile with. I also had to worm crawl through the grass to get a shot on a goat. I know old habits die hard, but I probably should have tried a different approach. This rifle would be the one to camp on a promontory and take a long poke from a solid rest. Hopefully, within a few hundred yards of the truck.
If tall grass or terrain dictate an epic sneak it's not my first choice. Then again, I haven't tried a drag bag.
I'll take it along for antelope again next year, but if'n I need to sneak I'll grab the shorter and lighter 6mm284.
The 111LRH will likely get the nod for bear, as the walking is easy.
Elk, and if I am really lucky, sheep will earn the .338Win.
I guess in a nutshell, it all depends on a guy's threshold for weight. Lots of guys hunt the high country with an Accumark .30-378, to me that's WAY to heavy. The 111 LRH is a little lighter, but only a little. It gets heavy in a hurry when the grade gets steep and the oxygen starts to thin.
