That's just two ounces over 6 1/2 lbs.
That should be a comfortable weight for an upland gun
For any healthy teenage or older person.
My Dad is 75 and carries his 12 gauge SKB 280 all day in the grouse woods.
What hothouse flowers we be!
Sure, there are 12s that weigh less but with the normal 1 oz load used in most upland hunting, whether the 6 1/2 lb game gun is a 12, a 16 or a 20 is not very important.
