My SX3 came in at 9 pounds on the dot (unloadaed) with scope and sling. My SBE 2 came in at 7.8 with sling and no sights. 9 pounds is getting up there in weight so its a good thing I do a lot of sitting while hunting.

A lot more at the end of the hunt than at the beginning. Seems it picks up some weight when the walking starts.

As for actual weight, I couldn't tell you. It's a Mossberg 835 with a Simmons pro diamond on top of it. Certainly not a matchstick but it's not too bad. I'd say it's near the 9# range if I were betting but that's a guess.

My Benelli Vinci weighs in @6.5lbs short 18.5 barrel, pistol grip with a Vortex venom on top, 20ga SX3 26" barrel with Vortex Venom weighs in just under 7lbs.

Thats like carrying around a daisy BB gun. Should be a nice project.

Never weighted any of my guns. Some I call heavy and some lite. I know guys that carry around 15 pounds of gear in their vest and then say they can't understand how I carry my shotgun because it's so heavy. I don't understand how they carry all that crap in their vest!

9.4 #'s - Mossy 935 with 26" tube, unloaded with sling.

Now my 11-87 youth 20 gauge weighs the exact same as my hunting partners 835 with a 24" tube. Can't remember the exact weight, but it was a little over 8 ready unloaded with slings.

My 3" 870 with a sling & Truglo red dot weighs 8.25 lbs unloaded. But it has a magpul stock that makes it a little heavier but it's worth the extra weight to me.
