In 12ga 30" guns #2 frames normally weigh 7lbs 12oz to 8lbs, #3 12ga 30" 8lbs 6oz+, #1 frame normally weight less than 7lbs 6oz. But there are may exceptions. For upland birds a #1 frame 12ga would be perfect, unless you want to pay up for a Parker small bore. Parker small bores are not real light compared to like a Fox. For ducks over decoys a #2 frame 30" is hard to beat, for long range waterfowl late in the season with heavy loads a #3 frame 12ga is hard to beat.
