I have an Sharps 1874 long barrel 45-70. It is by no means a light rifle. Not exactly sure about the weight but holding it steady without a rest takes some effort. The feather trigger is ridiculously touchy. Like a friction of a pound pull touchy. Still fun to shoot.

I shoot a Marlin 1895 in .45-70 with a 400 grain bullet at 1,900 fps. The rifle weighs 7 pounds. The recoil isn't completely obnoxious.
