People in this area aren't concerned with the weight of a gun whether they are on the range or hunting. (Unless it is a trap gun and they want a gun with weight) Single select trigger. BTFE. Nice wood. I don't ever even remember that many people asking how much a gun weighs. This is America around here. Grand American country. Winchester Model 12 country. Model 21 country. Trap country. People who shoot skeet just get a gun with short, open choked barrels and shoot. Who ever heard of asking how much does that gun weigh? Not around here. Most people wouldn't know the difference between a seven pound gun and an eight pound gun around here and not many care. It's like when someone asks me how long is the barrel on that gun? Does it matter it looks short to me. Two feet give er take. Is there a difference between 26" and 28"? If you're a good shooter, you can pick it up and break targets. And around here, your barrels get hot at skeet in 90* weather. When you go from #1 stand to #2 stand and shoot eight times in a minute or two, they get hot real fast. And when you get around to #6 and #7 and shoot another eight quick shots, they stay pretty hot. Sunday, I shot two rounds and those barrels were burning through my gloves when I held the gun by the barrels. You could not have held onto them without gloves. That' why people around here say the heck with the weight, give me a BTFE!!
