I would not say that Chuck, unless you want to.
Different men like different guns.
I am short (only 5'6")and strong, and quite muscular. I find a 10 pound gun is not "heavy" to carry. And a bit more weight makes the big rifles more pleasant to fire. I shoot them more then I hunt with them these days, so I like a bit of weight on them.
My "deer rifles" I like to make light. My 'big rifles' I like to make heavier.

But if you feel good firing a 9.5 pound 470, leave it alone. If you think you want more weight, then have it done that way.
Don't take my word for it. It's only got to please you.
