You make an interesting point about shooting ability versus weight. Many decades ago, the U.S. military conducted a binocular test to determine the most efficient power for handheld binos. Using 6X, 7X, 8X, 10X, 12X, and likely more, they had a test group use each unassisted to see how much detail they could resolve on a chart. The winner was 7X, which is why this is the gold standard for service binos.
It's obviously very different, but I wonder how a similar test would go for these ultralight rifles. I know there is a point of diminishing returns, but it would be interesting to see how weight affects precision over a group of shooters and not just a crackshot.
