The utility grade I started with when I was 13 was a 12 gauge Trojan. I freely admit I am, and have always been, a Parker snob. Oh I’ve had others over these many years and I can admire the beauty of other makes of shotguns, be they SXS’s, pumps or single barrel guns but I’ll never stray too far from my beloved Parkers and will likely add to my collection as time goes by.
I must say I have never actively looked for anything else.
