6 1/4 - 6 3/4 lbs. works well for me. The 686 pheasant gun below is an even 7 lbs. and the sling is quite nice. It's not like you need to walk port arms all day.




I've got a 30" 16 gauge FAIR Rizzini that came with sling hardware in the box. It's a nice 6lbs. 3 oz., but the sling would still be useful on long walks through unproductive cover.
