In the interest of science, a data point:

Rizzini SxS EL, WLM import, 2008, 29", fixed chokes 15 and 22, 70mm, Italian superior proof, no 'steel' verbiage.

2 pounds 9 ounces. Total gun weight empty, 5 pounds 14 ounces.

They saved the weight in this one in the action. It's 'petite' as the saying goes these days.

Chrome lined, I'd have no qualms using modern 70mm steel were I so inclined, and I'm not.
