It's considerably lighter than the 788s I've been lugging around.

It has been MANY years that I didn't see a buck of some sort (or multiples) on opening weekend but I have never been skunked and not seen a single deer until this year. Maybe Covid got them? Maybe all the illegals ate them? I have nothing clever to put here.

In real hunting we have to get dressed and can't stay in Mommy's basement all day. Does she have your "outfit" for tomorrow laid out for you ? I have nothing clever to put here.

Agreed. Bucks My daughter went up to Sams for Ridges birthday on Friday. Showed me the pics of Ridge and the 577. Awesome!!! Came home and she shot a nice 8 pointer Sat. morning.
