Some folks think heavier means more expensive, it doesn't.. it's an old thought.. With the metals of today, you can have both, and we do. You just have to pay more for the lighter parts.

Again a heavy rifle is only a problem if you are a soldier, since you will be hauling that sucker everywhere and everyplace 24/7. LEO have much shorter carry time, civilians even less.. Also recoil is less with a heavier weapon. But this can be address with compensators and heavy buffers.. Know what you want and build and carry what fits those needs and with the technology we have today, anything is possible ...............with the right amounts of bills. Keepem in the X ring.
