I would only carry a rifle maxed out at 8#'s with recoil I could COMFORTABLY handle at that weight, firing a bullet in the 100-150 gr. weight at around the 3000fps figure. A walking around gun anyway. If you hunt by someone dropping you off right at your condo stand, weight certainly would not be part of the puzzle.
As a side note, I loaded some old 60 gr. Hornady spire points in my 25/06 to a chronographed 4000+fps. Unbelievable what they did to an armadillo. We actually had to back the load down at one point as the bullets were coming apart in flight!
Take care
Tony
