8.6 pounds seems like a very heavy weight for a rifle of this type. Does that figure refer to the shipping weight or something, or is this thing really 8.6 pounds?

Hi Jonathan and welcome. The manufacturer weight is 5.7lbs without the magazine. https://hk-usa.com/hk-models/hk416-22-lr-rifle/ - which is less that 6lbs even with a magazine inserted. Cheers and stay safe!
