Beretta Al 391 urika 2 - not as light as I'd like it to be but this thing is sweet

Baikal MP18 12 gauge - 5.25 pounds. Had this gun 2 seasons and up until a week ago it wore a hard plastic butt "pad". It's pulled just as much blood out of my face as it has turkeys.

Mossberg 535 - this is my favorite turkey gun. Even with a nikon monarch 1.5x4x20 it's still a featherweight

Remington 870 sp shurshot- weighs enough that I never intend to pack it hunting ever again. I've upgraded the gun but I've owned it for 18 years.

Mossberg super bantam - this is my wifes gun and it is also sweet. I love the way this gun packs and handles.

I want to find also s 20 auto that packs as well as this gun, my baikal or my 535. M2 20 is my first choice.. never handled a weather sa whatever the number is but they look great. Wish the sx3 20 wad lighter and I'd have one of them

Benelli Nova 20 ga.= nice and light, easy to carry.  ;)
Benelli SBE I= not to light or heavy, just right. ;D
Rem 870SM= same as above. ;D
Browning BPS 10 ga.= like lugging a artillery piece around. Heavy but VERY effective. :o

Enough to be comfortable to carry in the field, but not enough to soak up any of the recoil from the 3 inch turkey loads...

Phew, Browning spec.s that BPS 10 at 10 pounds 9 ounces. That'd be over 11, loaded. That thing needs wheels!

Remington 870 3" chamber with 21" VR, red dot, & sling with no shells weighs 8.25 lbs.  But it has a Magpul stock which is heavier than a standard stock.

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.

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.

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