New 20 ga over under/ upland and clays

Purchased a 20 gauge franchi Slx last year and don’t regret it for a minute. 28 inch barrels and super light, some may think it’s too light. After I patterned the gun a couple weeks into season and gained confidence I’m really satisfied!

Hey nerd, I looked on their website when they came out with it and couldn't see a actual weight. How lite is it?
 
I've was looking for a 20ga field gun for a while. Finally decided on a Beretta 687 SP III 20ga / 28in barrels. Since I own a Beretta SP 12ga I decided to stay with what I know. I have only had a chance to shoot a few rounds of 5-stand with the 20ga. Very happy with my choice. Good luck with your search.
 
Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 1 was my choice, got it a few years ago and it's an absolute joy to shoot it is easily my favorite gun. Mine has the schnabel forend which I like but they don't make it that way anymore.
 
I have too much time on my hands! Just bought a beater on GB. I'm pretty sure it's a 70s Zoli. Owner says 5 lb. 13 oz. mod and full. double trigger o/u. Haven't had a double trigger o/u since I sold my mod. 90 marlin.

Bird dude little update on the weight, I weighed my Slx model it came in a 6.0 lbs.. franchi shows same weight for all three models where I was reading and that can not be true due to different materials. Every oz counts when your hauling water for 3 dogs in the desert!
 
Totally agree. 6lbs. is about perfect. Lightweight but can still shoot 100 rounds without pain and can shoot 3" mags (not without some pain). I do like 5.5 lbs but 100 rounds gives me a headache and 3"ers out of the question. :confused:. I don't know why I don't just buy an slx. I'm going to have to buy one or quit looking at them. I'm ruining my keyword by slobbering all over it!!

FC4C0A85-E886-41E7-B8A6-3327C873AC50.jpegMay be screwed maybe not. Had a broken firing pen. Made a new one from a drill bit. Shoots fine but kicks some. I think it’s a 70 Zoloi? I got some money back from the seller for the broken pen. I can’t find anywhere on this gun where it says how long the chambers are?
