casts_by_fly Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) that's about right for an O/U game gun. 7-7.5# for a 12 gauge. If you go to some of the alloy receivers you'll get as low as 6 lb for a game gun. Thanks, Rick Edited May 27, 2009 by casts_by_fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groach1234 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Im fighting against stereotypes! Man up and do Yorkshire proud. I had a 12 bore S/S game gun that weight if i recall inbetween 6 and 6 1/4 pounds (so so light) and once put a 32g 5 through it (it turned out one of my dads carts had snuck its may into my bag and he has a massive 30 some year old browning convert trap to game gun that will take them fine) biggest mistake of my shooting life, hurt for every shot i took for the next hour in the hide.
