Real world it won't be less than 5.5 and probably not more than 6.5 does a half pound really matter?

I have a youth model 20 with the wood stock and fore end with a Truglo Tru Tec Micro red dot on top. Also has a Mossy Oak graphics kit on it (the weight is minimal but just for reference). It weighs 7.5 but honestly feels less than that.
