Any idea what an original Parker IC would measure?
My goal is to make the 28" barrels a little more versatile for clays AND grouse and I was thinking .010/.022. Thoughts? |

Jay,I think I would go a little looser. Say .008/.016
With the plastic shotcups it has been my experience on the 28's they tend to pattern a little tight.

I'm in the west and grouse are not the popular game out west that they are here (I'm on the eastcoast on biz this week). But I thought a short barreled gun was more desireable for the woodsey grouse hunting?

There's no short answer to that question Chuck. In the world of grouse shooting most of the flushes are in relatively thick cover and the "poke" shot is often all that a hunter can do. In such situations long barrels are a hinderance. Some say that the longer barrels may be blocked by saplings or branches but I think longer barrels are just that much more cumbersome to get moving. Certainly on such shots a good swing is out of the question. These days with longer barrels being the 'rage' at SC and Skeet, 28" barrels, to my mind, fall within the realm of 'grouse gun' length. I prefer a gun with 26" barrels but would find a light upland gun with 28" barrels easy to use.
Chokes for grouse on the other hand is another story.... |
