Fuss, fuss, fuss! If I can carry a Garand all day deer hunting, there's no reason anybody should complain about the weight (unless they're hiking 50 miles or so with a 40 pound pack.) And think of the comfort vis a vis recoil, surely that's worth an extra few pounds.

My regular deer rifle is a Ruger M-77 in .308, but I went hunting with the Garand just so I could say I'd done it.

(And no, I didn't see a deer all day. Do you suppose it was because I was making so much noise panting under the weight? Nah.)

Just received from CMP today. Sent in order last Monday the 24th. Waiting for the 03A3 I order this last Monday the 31st.

And yes I know this is a cover pic. I will be getting a camera tonight for some real pictures of my new baby.
