My little TC Omega X7 weighs in at 7 lbs. on the button with a 4X scope mounted. It's 38" long with a 14.5" length of pull. It's a sweet gun to carry and shoots fine. Recoil is quite moderate with a 250 grain Gold Dot over 90 grains of Pyrodex, Triple 7, or GOEX FFFg black powder. Recoil is a little stiffer with my favorite hunting load of 105 grains of GOEX under a 300 grain Speer Gold Dot, but not real bad if you're not recoil shy. The X7 has an excellent recoil pad. I haven't shot light loads with it (something like a 240 grain XTP over 70 or 80 grains of powder), but I suspect it would be a very very soft shooter with a load like that.
