    nah, it's always good to go over. same as pack weight.

    for myself, i used to carry a bergara b14hmr which, by the time i had a scope, bipod and sling, was damn near 7kg all up. I loved that damn rifle, between it's sheer mass and a muzzle brake it kicked like a .22, you could use it to hold a tarp down in the wind, and it was so solid that it was basically unbreakable.

    nowdays I carry an extreme hunter, which clocks in at about 4kg carry weight. less pleasant to shoot prone or seated but way nicer to carry up hills or shoot offhand.
