Far too light for caliber! I had a 465 H&H Dominion grade that weighed in @ 10.5 pounds and it kicked like an indignant camel! On the other hand my Rigby 470 weighed 11.8 pounds and was a dream to shoot! My 476 Westley weighed 11.4 pounds and was also very pleasant to shoot. The rifle needs to have sufficient weight to caliber to be a comfortable gun to shoot.
