Light Weight Pump 20 Gauge
I have a customer looking for the lightest weight 20 gauge pump action shotgun on the market. Would that be an Ithaca model 37 light weight?

I like 37's. Maybe the Remington model 17. 0 -
Benelli 20 ga Nova. 0 -
That would be the Ithaca English Ultrafeatherlight made for a few years starting in 1982. It has a straight grip stock made without a butt plate (seriated), aluminum receiver, 25" vent rib barrel. The one I have weighs 4.9 lbs. (That's scale weight, not advertised weight.) The list price in 1982 was $496. I bought mine used about 8-10 yrs. ago and paid about that for it. They are kind of hard to find. 0 -
Yup, the Nova will probably be one of the lightest. The Mossbergs are pretty light also, but the barrel are a little heavier than the Benelli. 0 -

Thank you Ambrose, that is what he is looking for.

A Remington Model 31 lightweight would do the trick. Not sure of the exact weight, but mine feels well below 6 pounds with a 28 in. plain barrel. The aluminum receiver cuts the weight way down. They appear occasionally on GunBroker. Would never shoot short magnums in mine, but that's not the purpose. 0 -
If they want to go lighter yet, and it can be a semi-auto...Franchi 48 AL, in 20, or 28 gauge. I have a 28 gauge with a 26" tube. It weighs in at just over 5 pounds.
