Thanks for sharing the pictures. How heavy is the Ruger ? Great way to get in shape for hunting season.
It's just under 9.1lbs unloaded (with sling). But surprisingly, it carries pretty well. I move it around. Over the shoulder, one hand, two hands, African style with the sling. The GSR is only half a pound or so lighter the way I have it setup.
Yep, carrying a pack full of water, food, binoculars, rangefinder (I was curious), extra clothes, etc, plus a 9lbs rifle up a 45 degree slope at around 8,000' does seem like a good way to get for for hunting season. Actually, that pretty much been my experience with hunting too.
