My 10 is an 1886 vintage Parker Top-Lever with 30" Laminated Steel barrels. It weighs a skosh over 9 pounds. I use Sherman Bell's light load with an ounce of 7-1/2 shot. The full chokes hold some awesome patterns out past 40 yards. I don't use it often, as I walk for 7-8 hours a day when I am pursuing ruffed grouse and it gets heavy. Cheers!
