since im from the old school, tell me why lighter guns are popular these days.
just the thought of a 5.5 lb gun makes me flinch.
all guns in my generation were meant to be heavy to absorb recoil.
For me personally, I do alot more walking, and carrying, than shooting.
As for fhe OP, I've handled the new Sweet Sixteen A5, and as others have mentioned, its real light; points and swings well. I'd like to have one.
