Yeah weight is an unassessed independent variable. It's not a perfect study. Mind you, some people claim a heavier rifle is easier to hold steady offhand - and the weight difference is probably something like 6-7lb for the m4 and 8-9lb for the 308 - probably not in the realm of "too heavy"


That's something we can test easily enough ourselves
