Well, it's easy for me to say I don't need a sub-6lb gun, when I don't already have one...

My Parker 20 is 6lb 3oz, I'll just take fewer shells with me, and shoot straighter to make up the difference.

At that weight, I think we can call it a light game gun.

Well, I guess it's time for a little 13 mile walkabout this fall then...

Let's try to make that happen. I hope the birds nest well this year.

And maybe if you're nice, you can carry my 30" DHE 20 (6 lbs. 10 oz.) for the last half of the hunt. By then, I'll need that lighter gun of yours.
