I think all things considered that is not a bad price in this market(not great, but not bad for a gun you don't see everyday). The recoil pad turns me off a bit, but I could get used to it or change it.

I picked up a 30" 20 gauge VH at the Southern last year and I absolute love the gun. Don't tell my wife, but it is really the only Parker I would ever need. It has 2 7/8" chambers from the factory and is choked full/full. It weighs 6 3/4lbs and comes to the shoulder without thinking. This gun is had been great at everything I have done with so far...Pheasants in Kansas, a lot of sporting clays, trap, a handful of local preserve hunts wear I swear I made a successful 50 yard shot at a pheasant

If I didn't have one this one that Guns International Parker would be worth a look...

Jay, that's a perfect prairie gun, one made for wide open spaces with those barrels and chokes.
