Have yet to load it, but unloaded, it is the lightest shotgun I have ever held. I was very surprised how light when I picked it up. My finace even picked it up and said--"This is a 12 gauge?, it is light"
Those things are bad-ass but a 2500 shotgun better come with a coozy and its own duck stamp so when the game warden shows up at my duck blind and I'm drunk the gun can show him its stamp and testify that I wasn't shooting ducks.
