I ordered a Arrietta 871 16 gauge back in the late '80s. Beautiful gun and I shot it well but it probably never shot over 100 consecutive rounds. I know most have good luck with Spanish guns but for me "once bitten twice shy".

I think the Parker Repros are very, very nice guns for the money. There are a few things that is wish were different about them. I think they missed the market on not making enough double trigger guns (or possibly they don't come to market often). Most of the stocks are too short. Barrels are short for today's market. The 20's are fairly heavy, I had one and it was in excess of 6 1/2 lbs.

I always wished I would have gotten in on them early and tried to get custom stock deminsions. I did bid on the 20 gauge BHE 2 barrel set on Morphy's December auction. It was 14 3/4 inch straight stock, double triggers, splinter forend, 2 barrel set.
