Wild Skies,
Outside of the small group of SxS users is the majority hunters using Rem 1100's, 1187's, A-5 Browning, Model 12 etc. None of those guns will weigh under 7# in 12 Ga. I would suppose most of the people that use those guns never give a thought or care to what their gun weighs. Some do drive blue trucks, ox option extra!
ken/kebco had a special light weight gun made to his specs. He is obviously thrilled with it. The guns weighs 6# 6 Oz. If he had ordered the gun with big wood and a big recoil pad it would not weigh 6# 6 Oz.
My theoretical RBL light 16/12 would weigh 6# 3 Oz/6# 8 Oz based on solid evidence contained within this topic. You can do your own research and arrive at your own conclusion.
People like what they like for their own reasons.
