Weight of 870s?

I have been all over various sites, including Remingtons trying to find out the actual weight of a 12 gauge, 20 inch barrel, synthetic stock and a 20 gauge, 20 inch barrel, synthetic stock. Most weights are given in ranges such as between 7 and 8 pounds as an example. I am trying to determine the actual weight difference between identical 870s with the only difference being one is a 12, the other is a 20. I am having zero luck.
This has to do with the fact that I have trouble with shouldering a long gun since I have had shoulder problems. I am trying to find out exactly what the weight difference is.

I think synthetic stocks versus wood stocks are about the same, weight-wise. Hope this info helps you in your decision making process.
Sorry about the poor pics. The captions are what were important, though. Later, Roland
I can stand way more rounds in my pistol gripped 20 in 870 with the extended mag full than I can take with the 30 inch regular shoulder fired one. My usual load is 3 3/4 DE 1 1/4 oz. of whatever.
