20 guage 3 inch full rifled slug barrels with sabots and light weight single barrel shotguns are a kicking machine.
The ultra slug hunter is like 9 pounds without a scope and is the 12 guage gun with an ultra heavy 20 guage barrel on it. Tracker II weight is 5.5 pounds unloaded. The 11-87 sportsmans deer weight is 7.4 pounds unloaded and the sporting 20 1100 is 7 pounds even. I might go for carring around 1.5/2 pounds over the recoil.
Still 20's are deadly accurate and accually shoot better at distance than the larger 12 guages with some loads over 100 yards.

I don't know but I've been told it's hard to swim with the weight of gold. On the other hand I have heard it said it's just as hard with the weight of lead.
