Last picture shows 7lbs , he has some English made 10s in that range also .
I think that may be the lightest 2 frame 10 he has . The other ones I think are in the 8.5lb range .

Actually it isn’t 7 pounds that’s 7 pounds 2 1/2 ounces . Granted that’s not a great amount over 7 pounds but it isn’t 7 pounds it’s more .

True but I figured it was close enough but I know when carrying it in the field a few ounces may make a big difference to someone .

I think that Parkers has 32" barrels so if it was 30" it would probably break even at 7lbs . It being lighter than the other 2 frame 10s listed I suppose it has thinner barrels than the others one ?

Milton, I hope, as a friend, you are not considering purchasing the 7 pound Parker. That is one poor excuse for a $2000 Parker. $200 would be closer to its real value.
