<5# neutral cast O/U?

Post by howl »

How about an O/U weighing under five pounds with a straight stock? Supposedly the KOFS made baby frames are that light. They're cast and twisted for RH use.

Kofs makes the Savage Stevens 555 and ATI Cavalry and the 28ga is under 5 lbs. I have a stock for this gun from both ATI and savage, I will check the cast tonight. The other Turkish O/U that is really light that you may look up is the Legacy Pointer. Seen it and held it, but haven't weighed it.

Both stocks have cast off for a right handed shooter. If there is a twist though, I couldn't see it or measure it. I did not take off the pad to see if the cast could be changed for left hand shooter. I don't remember there being anything in there last time I changed stock, but I may not have noticed.

I have a ATI Cavalry .410 O/U that weighs 4.25 lbs. I like the Savage Stevens 555 .410 better because it has longer chokes, and all the metal is matte finished. I have a 20ga Savage Stevens 555 at 5.5 lbs, and it is one of my favorite turkey hunting guns!!!

Longer chokes sound good. The ATI I looked at, don't remember which now, had toe out. The Stevens I think was just mildly cast off.

I wonder if twist would throw the bottom off if shooting from the off shoulder or a bound up position. I can miss a clay if I don't hold an auto vertically. A small pattern out of an O/U seems like it could be an issue. I'm probably overthinking this, but fooling and fussing with the buildup is part of the entertainment of the hobby.
