Jim - in my youth, aka about 30 years ago, chasing chukar uphill with a Browning Citori field gun that weighed 8 pounds didn't seem like much.......nowadays EVERY ounce counts - if I was to find my way back to NV for that season, I'd be toting something 6# or less - no matter the gauge; otherwise, I'd be DRT of a heart attack in the afternoon!....
