So, what Parker frame size in a 12 ga. would approximate the weight of my 32" barreled Fox HE which weighs in at 9 lbs. 6.6 oz., which by the way handles very well?

Three frame 10 gauge Parker’s to me kinda felt the same . The HE I had was restocked and 30” coming in around 9.5 pounds , the three frame 34” 10 gauge NH I’m shooting at present is a few ounces heavier but felt better in my hands than the HE .

I have a GHE 20 skeet that weighs 3 ounces more than my Fox 20 Skeet & Upland w/ ejectors. Both 26" barrels, both straight stock. 3 ounces in my opinion is insignificant. The GHE of course is a 0 frame. I am sure there are examples that could go either way. But in general I suppose the Fox guns are lighter, but not significantly in my experience.

I really appreciate all the information given in this thread. I have learned a lot and it's from real time experience from people that hunt with these guns. It's helping me to decide on which gun I will try to win in the upcoming Guyette and Deeter auction. Thanks, and I hope the info just keeps coming in.
