    Sub-5lbs is too light IMO. I’ve tried super light rifles like this and they just don’t seem to point as well for offhand shooting. Just my preference of course, I’m sure there’s a market for them.

    my carbon a7 270wsm was just under 3kg scoped and was a pleasure to shoot prone off the bipod, only ever shot it off hand once so can't really coment on that other than it definitely worked as I head shot a fallow at about 25 yards
    I think @hillclima owns it now and I'm sure it's still a honey to shoot
