BudsGunShop.com - How much does the gun weigh empty?

Yes, 7 lbs is just about exactly what this gun and the stainless guide gun weighs. The weight is nice when you fire the hot loads. I shoot 3.5 inch 12 gauge and 300 Weatherby and the hot loads in 45-70 are just a little less recoil. I load cowboy loads also and they are like shooting a 410 shotgun, really fun. Due to its short length, you really do not notice the weight when maneuvering around trees and brush. So, in my view, weight of this gun is really not an issue. And for what it is worth, the price today at Buds is the best I have seen in well over a decade. I bought mine in 2010 and it was more then.
