I’m more curious about the weight of the gun than the cost. But I wouldn’t mind knowing both.

Can, the Venus is lighter. That’s the Zeus. Probably around 6. I. Ordered a Venus with 12 and 16 barrels. I’m thinking that the 12 won’t be more than 6 and a quarter,the 16 a shade under 6. They’te on the same frames. The 12 barrels might even be lighter than the 16’s

They’te on the same frames. The 12 barrels might even be lighter than the 16’s If you have barrels for both 12gauge and 16gauge and the gun is built on the smaller 16ga frame, then the 12ga barrels have to be lighter. Less steel surrounding larger chambers = lighter weight. That's why the Parker Reproduction I owned--made on a 20ga frame but with an extra set of 16ga barrels-- weighed significantly less as a 16 than as a 20.

I'll answer both questions, as configured the gun weighs 7lbs, I feel sure the lighter weights listed on their site are English stock, splinter fore ends.
I can see where that configuration could save a pound or so.
I wasn't expecting a 6lb gun, I own two 20ga and a 28ga in the same basic configuration and they all weigh in at around 7lbs, with the 28ga being the lightest.
The cost with my upgrades was $4850, the grade 4 wood was a $1250 upgrade.

Looks good and I’m betting that it will shoot great. Congratulations!
