This light weight over/under wont break your back or the bank. Weighing in at just 6 lbs it is a full 2 lbs lighter similar steel framed models. With all the gear we find ourselves carrying into the field today (like remotes for training collars gps cell phone extra ammo and a bottle of water just to name a few) I dont mind taking advantage of the opportunity to shed a couple of pounds. InKansaswe have a daily bag limit of four pheasants. The recoil is a little more than my sporting clays gun but it sure isnt too much for my typical day in the pheasant fields. 12 ga 2 3/4 '' 28'' bbls extractors only.
