I was being a bit facetious when I stated 12 oz in my original post, 8-10 oz is common. I want this gun under 9 lb scoped and with 5 rounds ready to go. Scope weighs 13 oz, gun is 7 lb 12 oz, does not leave much. The Aero still looks like the best choice for my target goal. Thanks to all that posted.
May look at lighter stock and fore piece down the road as budget allows.
