Default Ideal weight for upland guns

Now that all hunting seasons are basically over here and my Jon boat is still at the shop, how about we think wistfully about the bird season that is months away?

What is your ideal weight for an upland gun? I weighed some of my favorites and determined somewhere in the 6 pound range. My GH 28 is 6.05. My VH straight grip 20 is 6.08 and my big GH 16 on the 0 frame (28" barrels) is 6.13. All of those handle well. Tried a 12 on a 1 frame with 28 inch barrels and it is over 7 pounds and a tad weighty.
