my sxm1 weighed in at 10.5 lbs.
I had a merc reducer in the mag tube with extra lead filled into empty hulls with the recoil spring wrapped and taped around them. there was only room for 1 extra live round. the stock had lead ingots in it with a morgan adj pad on it.
I could shoot 1 1/8oz all day and never feel it.
its still a great platform to win the 12ga events with.
heavy guns were in vogue in the 80-90's. but then...so were 1 1/8oz loads.
