I would define a lightweight sheep rifle as starting at 6#'s and under. Definitions differ apparently lol
To further define what this rifles purpose is for...

My boomers are for moose and elk as in. " going for moose today. " head to the safe, oull out the 300 bee or 338wm.

This rifle is question.. is for my. " gone deer hunting" rifle go to. Yet, if going for sheep i would take it. If an elk walked out while deer hunting, i would feel confident on the shot. ... kinda rifle.
Long shots on mule deer. Close to long shots whitetails. And whatever a sheep could throw at me

As for lightweight i had mentioned the talon is very light in comparison to what im used to. So r the MKV hunters. . I know sheep hunters like to sacrifice weight to climb the mountains. Ive never climbed a mountain for a hunt. ...yet. i went to a gun shop to handle a Talon... and when the guy passed it to me it was so light in my hand i could have curled it with my pinky finger
