Depends on what day and which gun.  None of my springers wear glass.  Neither does my 392, 1377, or P17

My PCPs and CO2 guns do, and range in weight from 3 1/2 pounds to a hair under 7.  I'm not the picky nor concerned about weight, and don't own a scale except for one I use for measuring arrowheads and pellets (measures in grains, grams, etc).

My lightest rifle was my 760 with a 4x scope.  Too dang light... Now it is my 2400KT with an 18" barrel and the same 4x scope.  It is a tack driver at CO2-gun ranges, and when weather is warm it's probably my most-used gun at about 4 pounds.

My '79 Sheridan blue streak with 5dsh weighs about 5lbs, it's mostly a plinker but does take on occasion pests here and there.
Honestly it could do it all for me.
