Yep indeed all viable questions.

Weight is over 13.5 lbs w/ mag, optic, Atlas bi-pod etc.

yes, it is front heavy no doubt. While it is the most accurate .308 semi I own, it is not balanced imo. The SCAR17S is better balanced but not as accurate. Tradeoffs...

I'm use to lugging heavy stuff so not an issue for me BUT I can see where it would be on a long stalk, hunt etc.

At the time it was one of the best .308 platforms around. I had to have it for work etc.

Subsequent to it's release is the La Rue Predator at <8 lbs w/o kit on it. Something to watch, tantamount in accuracy & viable so far.

HTH...
