It will be way over 5kg by the time you add scope, mounts, suppressor and a full mag of ammo, it will be over 6kg with the 24" barrel. I have a TAC A1 and I thought I might carry it in the field but after setting it up and checking the weight there's no way I will, I have just finished docking the barrel to 20 inches and putting it into a carbon stock, now complete with a Delta 4-24x 50 its at about 4.6 kg. So I say if you want a long range rifle to carry in the field then forget about the TAC A1 but if you want a rifle for long range shooting at gongs and the like then go for the TAC A1 they are a fantastic piece of Kit for that sort of thing.
