My friend has fired the Lapua from the bench enough to get the scope zeroed to his satisfaction. Three shots is what I recall him taking before being satisfied. He has a bipod for it and was fully intending to use it on an occasion but the grass was too high for him to see through the scope.
I have no idea of what the customer has in mind but on a #6 rifle a muzzle brake wouldn't add any real weight if muzzle blast redirection wasn't a problem.
Braindead, you are a large enough person where this thing should not hurt you much if you do your part shouldering and firing it as long as your friend is 100% in his putting together a 6# rifle around a very intense cartridge.
Let us know how it works out. BTW I'm 5'9" and 145# If I can do it with an 11# rifle you know that you can do it with one that weighs only 5# less.
Your weight is 1.8 of mine and the rifle I shot is 1.8 heaver than the one your friend is building. Should be perfect right.
Best Regards,
