I agree Sneeze different people hunt in different ways, but if 650 grams "actually mattered" you wouldn't have a suppressor on your rifle when you go high so how doe's that relate to my statement about stainless vs alloy.
And by the way you need to harden up if u can't hold up 650 grams on the end of a T3 taking a standing freehand shot not that I could hold it up like that for half an hour but for a snap shot no problem weight helps keep steady and for 1300 dollars what flavour rifle would you buy new that is as reliable, accurate, ss synthetic workhorse the lite part was just the way it came, the rifle + suppressor weighs approx the same as my old parker & hale 270 I use to hunt with.
