Super light = can carry it in your hand all day, biggest problem is forgetting to pick it up after a smoko break.

The other problem with that is type or terrain, bush or open, day pack or overnight pact
Too many variable involved with on shoulder or in hand.

That's more a personal choice thing.
Some guys sling a rifle all the time.
Some guys carry in hand despite being on the steepest country where I need both hands and my teeth
