Is there a lightweight 20 gauge with a rifled barrel?

I have an NEF 20 with a fully rifled barrel. It's the hardest kicking gun I own with a 3" buckhammer. Shoots about 3" at 100 yds.

Did I mention it kicks hard ! OOF.

That's one thing I found going to 20s and 28s over the last few years: The reduction in shotgun weight of the smaller gauges often equalizes the reduction in payload, so recoil evens out.

Shooting heavy loads through both, the recoil of my 20 ga 870 is not a lot better than the recoil from my 12 ga 870. I do like the lighter gun though.
