Thanks. FYI gun weight is supooesed to be ~7.5lbs. Add about 1/2 lb for the scope and its 8lbs, which is neither heavy nor light for a deer hunting rifle.

Recoil should be brisk but very tolerable. Ny son's 20ga slug gun would come in way lighter and I sighted it in for Federal's 3" 1900fps sabot slug load. After one shot I was hoping there was a vial of Advil in the truck. Sharp and brisk recoil, but without much shove. Almost the opposite of my double rifle in characteristics. Much, much less overall recoil though!

I think I might resight my son's slug gun with Federal's 2 3/4", 1600fps sabot slug load. He'll be nine next year and found the recoil of the 1900fps slugs unpleasant and chose to hunt with his blackpowder rifle during the shotgun season this year in lieu of his Mossburg 20ga punp becuase of the lighter recoil.

Either way, shooting the 1900fps slugs or the 1600fps slugs, this should be more fun than using my Mossburg pump slug gun, about which I can't complain. It has done yoeman's service and accounted for quite a few deer from spitting distance to about 90yds, but it is pure utility.
