I am one of those old guys, more physically reduced that I like, that would be carrying a sub 6lb hammer double except that my favorate 16s way a bit over 6,0 lbs. Thanks to their long (30-32 inch) barrels they swing nicely and I get trap scores as nice as with 8+lb O/Us. On long days afoot after desert quail, I wish those guns weighed only 5,0 lbs, or 4,0 lbs, or I had a combo gunbearer-birddog-retriver-game bearer.

Barrel-light, poor handling shotguns are not what I take hunting on foot, no matter what they weigh.
