This I what I have noticed going up in a frame sizes you can bring the weight back to center if you are using long or heavy barrels .

I think the 10 gauge probably had the most varied weight range of any Parkers . Ive seen them from 7lbs up to 15lbs and from frame sizes 1 to 6 .

I have seen #3 frame 10 gauges cover a wide variety as well though 8-11lbs .
