My SX3 came in at 9 pounds on the dot (unloadaed) with scope and sling. My SBE 2 came in at 7.8 with sling and no sights. 9 pounds is getting up there in weight so its a good thing I do a lot of sitting while hunting.

Yildiz .410. Project for next year.
A lot more at the end of the hunt than at the beginning. Seems it picks up some weight when the walking starts.
As for actual weight, I couldn't tell you. It's a Mossberg 835 with a Simmons pro diamond on top of it. Certainly not a matchstick but it's not too bad. I'd say it's near the 9# range if I were betting but that's a guess.
My Benelli Vinci weighs in @6.5lbs short 18.5 barrel, pistol grip with a Vortex venom on top, 20ga SX3 26" barrel with Vortex Venom weighs in just under 7lbs.
Beretta 686 UL - 6.75 lb with sling, B-square cantilever rib mount and FF III
Rem. 1187 with sling and FF II on 336 base - 8.75 lbs...Feels like a boat anchor now and stays in the safe
20ga 870 6.14lbs unloaded
my 20ga 870 is right around 6 pounds.
Mossy 835. Just under 8 lbs. Dot scope and sand in the stock. Unloaded.
:camohat: My Rem 870 Turkey/Predator w/ red dot unloaded 7 lbs.
Damn. I guess I'm the only one carrying a cinder block around.

Thats like carrying around a daisy BB gun. Should be a nice project.
Never weighted any of my guns. Some I call heavy and some lite. I know guys that carry around 15 pounds of gear in their vest and then say they can't understand how I carry my shotgun because it's so heavy. I don't understand how they carry all that crap in their vest!
9.4 #'s - Mossy 935 with 26" tube, unloaded with sling.
Now my 11-87 youth 20 gauge weighs the exact same as my hunting partners 835 with a 24" tube. Can't remember the exact weight, but it was a little over 8 ready unloaded with slings.
My 3" 870 with a sling & Truglo red dot weighs 8.25 lbs unloaded. But it has a magpul stock that makes it a little heavier but it's worth the extra weight to me.
Mossberg 500, 12 ga 20" barrel @ 6 lbs, 5 oz unloaded with sling

No actual weights but both of mine weigh too much, though the browning gold is much heavier than the sbe2.
Looking into a 5lb 20ga o/u.

Me too, 3" only anymore. What a joy to carry every day in the spring woods.
I've got several dedicated turkey guns and usually carry the lightest which is an Ithaca Model 37 w/ a Nikon VSD scope which weighs @ 7lbs 9 oz fully loaded. Unless you carry an empty turkey gun, the "loaded" weight is what matters. Over the years I've rigged out several single shot turkey guns for friends and still have a "tricked out" NEF 10 gauge which I carry on rare occasions and luckily have never needed a second shot while carrying it. However, during over 35 years of turkey hunting I have had several instances where a second shot was necessary to kill a gobbler (this has only happened once since I started shooting HTL shells 14 years ago). About 30 years ago, I had Mark Bansner cut the barrel of a 12 gauge Winchester Model 37 to 26", sleeve it to .665, lengthen the chamber to 3", lengthen the forcing cone, and add double beads w/ a fiber optic front sight. I thought I had the perfect "run & gun" turkey gun which produced great turkey patterns, shooting the 3" Activ shells. I hunted w/ the gun and killed several gobblers until I shot a large gobbler at about 35 yards which hit the ground and then jumped up and ran before I could reload the single shot Winchester. I never recovered the gobbler and never hunted w/ the Winchester again. I've replayed the scenario in my mind countless times and have yet to ascertain exactly what happened, but it convinced me to carry a shotgun which held in excess of a single shell.
My Franchi 48AL 28 gauge weighs 5lbs. 4oz.
My Franchi Affinity 20 gauge weighs 6lbs. 7oz.
My Rem. 870 20 gauge weighs 7lbs.
My SX3 Universal Hunter 20 gauge weighs 6 lbs 10oz, the red dot weighs 6oz. So I'm carrying 7 lbs plus whatever a Claw sling weighs.
