Weight is 5lbs 8.2oz according to my postal scale. Light but not too light. I like the handling of this gun... not overly barrel heavy but enough weight forward that its very shootable. Buzz, I think your right on the barrels. Stan, Cabelas advertised it as improved/modified but its actually mod/mod.... worked well on skeet today. Should be a good all-around. I can't wait to give it a try on quail and dove.
