Looking For...

A very light 20 gauge upland bird hunting gun. Do you guys know one? I was thinking about the Franchi AL 48 as I have heard only good things about it. The price range is 300$-400$ - I can go over this sum if the rifle is worth it. Any suggestions ?

It is a solid option but the price is quite high, do a little more research and I'm certain that you will find it at a better price. Good luck!

PS: Look for the Remington 870, decent alternative.

Benelli offers some nice 20ga semi-autos / the one I really enjoy is the super sport ( not the super sport II ) and its a hair over 6 lbs - but its retailing in my country new for about $ 1750 which is quite much. Benelli is a real nice gun / especially if it has the comfort tech stock recoil system in it - Cordoba model, M2 model, etc and some of them are available for around $ 1,000 - and I know the M2 in a 20ga version is under 6 lbs and I believe had an option of a 24 or 26" barrel. The Super Sport model is only available in a 28" barrel right now.
