03mossy,
That's a pretty plush shooting house you have set up there. Very nice. My 10ML-II is a bit husky, for sure, but it's not that ridiculous to carry for what I do: primarily under one mile walks to sit for whitetails. It's not exactly optimized for Bighorn Sheep, though !
I plan to cut some weight with the next one by 1) going with a collapsible, 3 piece ramrod to keep in my pack (I'd rather carry the gun without an integral ramrod anyway); and 2) flute the barrel (yes, I know fluting is only good for a couple of ounces, but I'll take what I can get and fluting looks cool....)
