Sure, I like a rifle to be light to carry, but I've found that too going light on a short rifle tends to make it 'squirrely' on the shooting stix. So, I like a bit of extra overall mass to help keep steady on target when shooting off stix, from a treestand, or what have you.
For reference, my DTECH 6x45
16" Hbar profile tube, fluted under the handguard & DTECH Compensator on the end, Hogue carbine handguard & ACE stock. Even with an NXS on top, it's 7.6 lbs. with a full 5rder, and I wouldn't want it an ounce lighter.
Just something to to kick around. Any excuse to get a new rifle is a fine by me
Good luck!
now there is an idea play poker on a stand. Haha
