Those weights are about average for a 1-frame 12.
Itf it were a 16 it would likely be a few ounces heavier.

Have a rack with some of my shotguns over my desk, so weighed them.

32" A Grade Fox 7lb 6oz
30" Remington 1900 Damascus Ejector 7lb 2 0z
30" German BLE (my bird gun) 6 lb 5oz

My others are locked up, but I don't remember any of the 12ga's going over 8lbs.

This Parker seems "heavy" from my perspective, but I am not that familiar with Parkers.

Wasn't the #1 frame one of the lighter 12ga offerings?
