I don't think a ruger would come from the factory at 2#, more like 6.
But anyway, as far as barrel weight, it is all personal preference.
Some shooters feel a heavier barrel:
1. Stabilizes arm muscles when shooting 1-handed, resulting in a steadier hold.
2. Helps with recoil during rapid-fire.
Others:
1. Feel the gun is too heavy and cannot hold it steady.
2. Do better with a lighter gun.
As far as sights, yes, you want partridge style sights for bullseye shooting. The fiber-optic/v-style that come on some rugers is ok for you to get started at 15 yards. But out to 25 and 50 it is extremely difficult to shoot with any precision. If you are going with a dot-scope, then it doesn't matter.
I think you will find a broader audience on a bullseye focused forum, if that is what you want.
