I have a 0 frame 16 with 26" barrels that is 6 pounds even. It is really too light. I have a 1 frame 16 with 26" barrels that is 6 1/2 pounds and it is perfect.

Serial # 50131 16 gauge top action D grade on 0 frame with 28" barrels. 5 pounds even.

I would very much like to hold that gun.
Me, too, Dylan, especially at the end of a long day afield.

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

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

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

My 0-frame 16 gauge D Lifter with original 27” Parker-made Laminated steel barrels weighs 6 lbs. 3.75 oz. and it has accounted for a few grouse under my careful curatorship.

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

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.:whistle: By then, I'll need that lighter gun of yours.:crying:
