My POF 308 build (with 22" JP super match barrel) im scared to weight, but i would EASILY say its 15 lbs. |

It is more about the balance to me than the overall weight. I like to keep my rifles under 8 pounds though. 7 to 7.5 is better.

Balance is the key, no doubt, All those front heavy beasts really slow me down! I'll go to so bizzare lengths to
keep the harem in balance. Can be really challenging when you get into rails and toys !!!!

My wife's set up has the RRA 16" CAR Heavy barrel. She likes the weight for stability for longer shots, she rather engage from far than up close, but I think quick handling is sacrificed in CQB because of the weight.

Mine is a bit front heavy with the YHM can. 11.5" bbl and I carry it all day and don't care. It may be heavy, but it's quiet and mine. I put it together for me so weight is what it is. I have no idea, and I really don't care too much. I like it, I'll carry it.

HBARS, long rails, under rail grips, weapon lights should be removed if you want a light to carry gun. If over 9 lbs unloaded, you can carry it, I'll stick to mine!
My guns except the NV set-ups are 6.8-8 LBS unsuppressed & unloaded. |

The heaviest AR I own is the 6.8. 9.5 lbs with a 30 round mag, Aimpoint M4s and light.
The lightest is my pencil barreled 14.5" SBR; just 6.6 lbs with 30 rounds of 5.56. It's a KISS gun, no optics or rails. 
I agree that balance matters. The heavier gun with the Magpul stock on balances right, if I put an M4 stock on it to shed some mass it gets nose heavy. ETA pics. |

8.5 pounds with a loaded 30 round magazine. The STR was swapped for a CTR so take a few more ounces off. HBAR's and A2 front sight bases are heavy. I feel sorry for some of you.

Almost non-existent. Between the rifle length gas, heavy buffer, heavy barrel, and muzzle brake there is very little felt recoil or muzzle rise. The recoil-absorbing features of the stock were really not necessary on this rifle, but it's a much nicer stock than the GLR-16.
