Grandpa, I thought we buried you. How did you get here?Depends on what you are going for. In Florida, with 100+ deer a 6-pound 6mm rifle will do. For bigger critters, 7.5 pounds with 308 or higher ammo. All with light scopes. In my experience over 40 years, you don't shoot the later .308 range or higher 7.5 pound rifles for fun. They will kick your ass. For hunting 1-shot kills though, zero issues.
