I agree w/Chuck on the Skeeter pricing .. that's [$3~4K]just way too high for what they are. I don't know them to be quite that heavy, but perhaps they are. My experience with Skeeters is honestly limited to a single 28ga. and it was a lively gun with very high quality original wood though it required a complete re-do to bring it back up to snuff. A friend in the panhandle hunts quail and phes with it. I don't know its weight, but I did shoot it a fair amount as he was getting it sorted out. I have seen two .410 Skeeters offered for sale at $2400 in 90%+ condition, but it was a couple of years back. That seemed a bit pricey to me at the time and I didn't bite. No regrets.
