This light weight over/under wont break your back or the bank. Weighing in at just 6 lbs, it is a full 2 lbs lighter similar steel framed models. With all the gear we find ourselves carrying into the field today, (like remotes for training collars, gps, cell phone, extra ammo and a bottle of water just to name a few) I dont mind taking advantage of the opportunity to shed a couple of pounds.  In Kansas we have a daily bag limit of four pheasants. The recoil is a little more than my sporting clays gun, but it sure isnt too much for my typical day in the pheasant fields.  12 ga 2 3/4 ", 28" bbls, extractors only.
