You can buy a very nice Trojan for the money as compared to any higher grade. And you still get the same Parker gun, just without the frills. However, the options are limited on them and a 12g. is a heavy gun as bruce stated.
Unless you want a heavy gun.
Finding a Steel barreled GH gun is going to cost you some more money than you are maybe wanting to spend since there are a lot more Damascus GH guns out there than "Parker Special Steel" barreled GH's.
I recommend you look at a VH as your Parker of choice. They are all fluid steel barreled and are readily available. Options, like ejectors are available on them and you can get them in different frame sizes. A 1 or 1-1/2 frame in 12g. is nice for carying in the field. Typically in the 7 lb. range. Typically $1k will buy you a nice VH that is not too nice to hunt with.
