Bet that's a soft shooter!

Could shoot turkey ammo single handed. They start at over 7 pounds as just the gun. Then I put a 17 ounce scope and fabricated a sure shot stock to it and now it is a log.

H&R 10 ga 32 inch barrel with Aimpoint 9000sc red dot and steel rod removed from stock. 9 pounds 3 oz. Balanced perfectly.

I usually carry an 870 sp, it's somewhere around 8.5 lbs, but by the time I get to the top of the mountain, it feels like I'm carrying a 100# anvil!

I honestly don't know, in all my years I never weighed any of my guns, I just knew the A5 Mag was to darn heavy.

Never weighed it, but I'm guessing 7.5-8lbs. Been looking for a lightweight 20ga option for a while.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Mossberg 500, 20" barrel 6 lbs, 2oz. This is a fairly recent model that is lighter than earlier Mossbergs.

I have a Franchi Affinity 20 with a Burris FF3 and 336 mount. With the sling on the gun and loaded with three rounds of Hevishot #7's it weighs 6 lbs 13 ozs.

That's really heavy for a 20 ga.
actually they list at 6lbs 12oz with cantilever.  6/8 without...in 20 gauge that is.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!
