I built one that's just over 6 pounds, including scope.
All the youngsters like to hunt with it because it's as light as the pellet gun trainer we let em use.
I just single load it for em, never a need for a quick follow up, or do I want em to try. Also don't have to worry about magazine restrictions.
Adjustable stock and low recoil help also.
When the suppressor act passes, look out!
