topmantim Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Can any body tell me wot 12 bores there are out there that weigh about 6lb thanks tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Most S/S guns weigh in at @ 7+lbs which is the optimum weight for a gun firing 1oz cartridges. Some of the older English guns were made very light for carrying around but will kick like a mule with 30-32 grm loads. G.M.

Browning Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Tim, If you want a quality lightweight shotgun, take a look at the Beretta Ultralight, I bought one for Mrs Browning last year. I think it weighs in at about 6.3lbs, but its fine for her and she's only slighty built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry c Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Its worth remebering tho, that with a light gun the recoil will be far more noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i have a benelli 12g auto model beccaccia it is just 6lbs and fanatistic on recoil have fired up to 34g in it no probs . there is the comfort 12g slightly heavier but also very well balanced and with no recoil whatsoever . and i also have a winchester 12g mod23 pigeon grade with does not kick and is about 6.4 lbs and it is a great gun to shoot with but a good one will cost you about 500 pounds but its money well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbears10 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have you thought about 20ga? They are more likely to be around the 6lb mark than a 12ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
