As others have hinted at, get ‘match’ fit and get used to carrying the rifle as it is. My ‘every day shooter’, a 223, weighs 4kg. From time to time I think about lighter rifles but other times quite pleased with the weight when breathing hard or taking a 300+m shot. Having a day off today but tomorrow will do a regular bush loop checking traplines/goat shooting. From near sea level to 650m altitude variation. Gotten use to carrying that rifle weight, you should too.
