I just weighed her, and she is 7.4lbs. That is the heaviest SXS I have ever encountered. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/TxxmkcZD/DTS-0664.jpg) I don't even consider 7.4 lbs. heavy. I've got big duck gun S X Ss weighing up to 9.5 lbs. 😁
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I haven't gotten my hands on a pigeon or a gun like that yet. Coming from Trap, where 9lbs is the average, it's strange to see so many at 5/6lbs. I am not a hunter, so I don't have that experience, but I do get that carrying a lunker all day in the field would not be fun.

Read the poster's words that I quoted. He said he's never seen a S X S as heavy as 7.4 lbs. Try to stay on topic. That was a pitiful attempt to start up another confrontation. Sleep tight, now.

Stan, when someone like Joff utilizes a false manufactured QUOTE as his Signature line, and attributes his own disparaging words about the NRA to someone else, then every Post he makes is a pitiful attempt to start another confrontation. But an egotistical little narcissist like Joff thinks he always has the right to do anything he wants. I might as well show everyone just where Joff's Signature line originated: The NRA has proven itself unreliable and corrupt. Period. TransGomer Joff's QUOTE from Post # 675140 posted on 5/23/26- unedited This should result in yet another childish tantrum and more manufactured QUOTES from Joff.

Wow, this post went south...Is this the norm at DBLG? You get used to it… Have you shot the gun yet? I own a Falcon, ‘sort of a model 30 that was specific to the US market, circa 1972. Even after I adjusted the pitch on the stock (it would jump off my shoulder prior to that, the recoil was so bad) it is one of those 6 1/2 pound guns that just beats me up. Yea, I do the light load thing, and I’m all done shooting clay games with it. But, some days it is the perfect hunting gun. Best, Ted

So I have not yet. I will try some 7/8 12ga in it I will try some clays hopefully this weekend. I will chk balance and see if add an adapter for my shotkam for SXS and that will add 8oz to it. Maybe help a little with the recoil.

Hmm. That gun is a full pound heavier than mine. I don’t own a double over 7lbs. I’ve got a 16 gauge Browning Standard A5 that is close, but, recoil isn't an issue.
Best,
Ted
