So far, everyone who has picked up this rifle has commented how light and well balanced it is. I guess people see walnut and think heavy. But it sure isn't.

Unrelated firearm - but to your point about walnut. This smoothbore has a flame walnut full-length stock and a 42" 16 gauge barrel. Weighs exactly 7 pounds!

Nice rifle! I think Walnut was chosen - among other reasons - because of it's light weight, relatively speaking. It always surprises me how light it is compared to modern plastic stocks.
