That is a bit on the light side. For some period of time, Pigeon Guns had to be under eight pounds, and you see a lot listed in the old GAH shoot listings in the 7-13, 7-14, 7-15 range. My Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox C-Grade with 32-inch barrels, straight grip stock, 14 7/16 LOP x 1 7/16 DAC x 2 3/8 DAH and no safety weighs in at 7 pounds 13 ounces. While a lot of us seem to like the longer barrels today, "Bluerock" aka Capt. A. W. Money, made the case for 30-inch barrels in his book. That CHE would look nice next to my Fox. Hmmmm.....
