I can't say that at 15 and a 1/4 lb. that my 8 ga. is lively. It is a 7 frame with 38" barrels.

My 30" DH eight weights exactly ten pounds and handles like a bird gun. However, it is probably the lightest hammerless eight that Parker Brothers ever made. A friend owned a #5 frame eight lifter that probably weighed less than ten pounds. In contrast, my #6 frame ten with 34" Vulcan barrels weighs more than 13 pounds. It really depends on the individual gun how they are going to handle.

Wow Bill that is a real find. A 10 lb I have talked to Mr. Armbrust about his 10 lb greener in detail. I did not know parker made such a light 8 bore. I think this is ideal for shooting a 8 bore today since most loads used in them today are light for target shooting and you cant hunt with them at all in most states(like mine) and no waterfowl hunting period in any state. As I am sure everyone already knows.
