A gun such as TwiceBarrel describned would be a hoot in the uplands. I once had occasion to admire & heft a Barber & Lefever 10ga hammer double with 28" bbls. Didn't enquire as to its weight, but doubt seriously if it exceded the 7lbs mentioned, it was very lively in the hands. I would have loved to have had it to carry afield, but was not for sale. I think some got the impression I was totally condemning the 10ga in the previous thread, that was not my intention at all. In total honesty there is just no "Practiacl" reason for 99.9% of shooters to own a 10ga. We are however not on this forum for "Practicality" are we. Many of the very early 10ga's were chambered for a 2 5/8" shell, one of these in upland weight could also be much fun. These lighter weight 10s could be loaded with either 1 1/8oz or 1zs loads of shot depending on intended use.
