I'm thinking of ordering a 26", 20g. Bobwhite. Trouble is here in Ontario they are basically non existant and I will have to order it from the West, Likely Prophet River guns. My concern is that the only CZ I have handled was a ringneck and it felt way heavier than the CZ-USA website claims it to be. Any 20 guage Bobwhite owners out there that can provide actual weights? Was also tinkering with the thought of getting a 16 g. but from what I read it's just a 12 guage tube with a smaller hole so really more metal to carry around.

I don't see that model on the website but the Redhead 20 is listed at 6.3 lbs. Thats a fair difference.

IMO, gun weight is the least most significant criterion. Fit should be your goal.
I hear a lot of guys taking about it, but frankly, I think most men should be able to carry a seven pound gun with one hand through cover.
I'm of a slight build but find no issues with a one handed carry with a heavier gun.
You'll shoot a slightly heavier gun better too.

I have a Dehaan 20 ga 28"; same gun different dress, but she will dance; 6 lb 6 oz. A CZ Upland, same gun, but POW grip, 28" 20 ga; 6 lb 8 oz.
Yes, on some models CZ is optomistic about weights, but for sure not the 28s.

I'm with PC on this.
I had a Browning 20/28 Superlight combo with 26" barrels, with the aluminum receiver. With the 20 ga barrels it was a delight to carry. Unfortunately I couldn't hit anything with it.
I've had several guns that fit me and I could field shoot quite well, a RL 28 ga with 28" barrels and pistol grip, an Arrietta 20 ga. with 28" barrels stand out. Neither would be considered a superlight weight. Unfortunately in a fit of stupidity I sold the RL and in a fit of a son's tuition due sold the Arrietta.
I now shoot CZ POW s x s, not because they're the lightest guns out there, but for the reason they fit me quite well and I therefore shoot them pretty well too.
I'm not the biggest guy around , 6'1'', 215, but I can carry them all day and only use one hand or rest it on my shoulder until it's time to shoot.
