I certainly agree with the light weight can still be accurate. As someone who actually has to hump his gear, I am very conscience of weight. Personally, I feel most of the "in-style" precision rifles that are talked about today are too heavy for real world use. Or severely limiting if you need to actually hump to your positions / patrol. Not to be too much of a dick about it, but I do pay attention to the PT level of the people advocating 17-18-19# rifles. Most of them, it appears to me anyway, just drive up to shooting positions on a square range. So they don't seem to mind the weight.
That is why I have been watching the SCAR 17 so closely. I have had great experience with my SCAR 16 work rifle.
I have inquired casually about the SSR being imported and I can never get a straight answer out of the FNH people on the subject.
