I'm pretty sure there are kinds of metal that're more light-weight yet still durable. Though, she still would have had to counterbalance the weight of the scythe's blade somewhere in the handle to keep it from being topheavy.

There's a way to make an actual working replica of Ichigo's sword Zangetsu that's actually usable (It's a rather large heavy-looking sword), so hey, maybe the inventor of high caliber sniper scythes found a way to design the weapon to be usable.
