Lighter rifles are not easier to aim!!!!! What an idiot!!! Can’t the MNM find anyone who knows anything about firearms to write these articles?
Where accuracy is everything, at the competition range, the rifles are much heavier.

Not to mention bolt action. The writer ought to have to sit through about 48 hours of war movies, starting with the Longest Day.
