The lever is slightly right of center and there’s no light visible at the barrel to breechface intersection. I weighed it and it’s right at 5-3/4 pounds. Seemed really light to me, but it feels great and fits me wonderfully. I’m thrilled to have finally gotten a Parker and look forward to shooting it soon!
I know the feeling , I got my first Parker last year and recently just picked up a 2nd one . You will probably end up with another one before you know it .
