I find that I shoot guns in the 6 lb & less range better if they are
more stable & less "dynamic" than heavier guns.
Most people do shoot light guns better when consideration is given to increasing the swing effort by longer barrels/barrels thicker near the muzzle and a stock with more than normal weight at the butt. Not sure I understand "less dynamic than heavier guns."
I think Michel McIntosh once wrote something like that "as the gun weight goes down, the balance point should move farther forward from the trigger hand" & within reason I would agree with that.
This is true only if the weight is removed from the action and stock. If weight is removed by shorter/thinner barrels, then the balance point moves rearward.
A smaller, lighter action helps to achieve that.
A lighter action reduces weight by the amount it is lightened. However, this lightening has limited effect on balance and swing efforts due to the closeness to the balance point.
