Default predator heavy

I was at fellow members home last night and looked at his Dakota Predator. I had never handled one until then. Very well constructed rifle. Much heavier than the Cooper. I feel way overbuilt for the 17/20 cal. I would love one in a heavier caliber. The action is twice the thickness of a Cooper, much thicker than the receiver on my 375 RUM or 460 Weatherby Mag. I don't understand why it is so beefy. This was my first impression, too heavy. Beautiful rifle.
