I love the big guns and big loads, but mostly for the shock and awe value of having them go bang. For day to day duck hunting, I have found an easy to handle 12 gauge to do just about anything I need it to do. And that is outshoot the folks with steel shot and modern autos

My LC Smith Long Range is a great mix of a lightweight 12 built for strong shells. I would love to have a comparable Parker 12

Agreed, having owned 2 7/8" tens, I can do all I've ever wanted to do in water fowling with my HE Fox loaded with 1 1/4 oz. of bismuth 4s. That gun was paid the ultimate compliment last season in Arkansas. I was in a blind with several friends, all of whom were shooting autoloaders and steel. I shot a big mallard drake in the rear end as he was going straight away. He hit the water, way out there, dishrag dead. My host said I had the only gun in the blind that could have made that shot. That's the kind of thing that puts the icing on the cake with these old guns.
