Mr. Hoover hits the nail on head as he does targets with his 8 gauges. I certainly don't want an 8lb gun to carry in the woods but the balance and dynamics of the gun are far more important to me than a few ozs. They can't be explained. Every shooter feels these qualities differently so what works for me probably won't work for you. If not every original Parker would have been been the same. Those guys knew what they wanted and ordered the same.
