Once you get under 6lbs they get pretty whippy in the hands. I shoot a couple of sxs 12's that are under 6#. When you get a light gun trigger pulls are important as you can pull yourself off your target fighting a heavy trigger, my little Bernardelli is 5 lb 15 oz with 25" barrels and great triggers and is one of the nicest pheasant shotguns I've owned. I have a Darne at the same 5 lb 15oz with 29" barrel and heavy triggers that is tough to hit a flushing bird with. I have sold off all my 20's except one as I shoot 7/8 and 1 oz loads in my 12's so there is no reasoon to have a 20 just different shells to keep tract of. My lone 20 is a choke tubed CZ for shooting high volume steel.
The Baby Bretton 12ga weighed 4.5 lbs.
