great looking gun!
Not fair! Not fair! Not fair! First you brag about this beautiful smoothbore, then you have to rub it in by showing the squirrels you harvested. Us hoosiers have to wait 2 more months and your pic has me envious of your gun and your game. Good shooting and awesome gun. God bless!
I haven't weighed the gun so I cannot tell you an exact number. However, I can tell you that it is a lot lighter than the Benelli Nova I am used to carrying around during turkey season.
I bought all the pieces for the gun, minus the stock, from Stonewall Creek Outfitters for around $520 shipped to the door. My friend who built the gun, had a piece of wood for the stock and he charged me $150 to carve the stock and put the gun together.
I finally patterned it a bit this past weekend with good results. At 30 yards, I was easily peppering a turkey head target. I shot 80 grains FF, 1 OP card, 1/4" wad, 1 3/8 oz #6 shot and 1 OS card. Taking a fine bead, the gun shoots a little low so I need to file the front sight down some.
