I am envious of those of you with five and three-quarter pound 16 gauge side-by-sides. As a matter fact, Im currently in the market for one. In the meanwhile, I would use my6lbs 2oz English 12 ga sxs 2.5 chambers. I find that a gun much heavier than this is difficult to carry On the praires.

My lightest is a 5 lb 10 oz, 16 ga N Guyot, which I shoot fine. Most of the rest of my upland guns weigh between 6 lbs and 6 lbs 9 oz.

At my age, a shotgun in the vicinity of 6 lbs is a blessing when hiking around some of the Snake River or other river breaks here in Idaho, chasing chukar all day in warmer temperatures! A 7+ lb gun will break you of the habit real quick, unless one is just hunting the bottom of the draws or can get on top and hunt the top or is a young person in excellent condition.

I had a Midland XXV Featherweight 12 bore, except it had 28" barrels. It carried nicely and I shot it very well on quail, grouse and woodcock. It weighed 6lb, 1 oz after I put a pad on it. Like a fool I sold it.
