I agree! The 28ga Repro with a BTFE is perfect.

Also, I really like my two barreled set, once I had Bill Schwarz open the barrels to Q1 & Q2 for the 26" and IC & M for the 28" barrels. This is the way the gun should have come originally, IMO. Keep in mind that the "full" choke on the 28" barrels is ridiculously tight, something like .035 as I recall (XXF).

Now the 26" barrels are great for skeet or pen-raised quail as found on some of the quail farms around here. The 28" for everything else. And the 28" barrel still works well on skeet too, just smokes 'em a bit more (which I don't find objectionable, since I don't eat skeets ).

Now before I get lectured on opening up the chokes, I'm a shooter not a collector. But still, I gave it a lot of thought before doing it. Now that it's done I wish I'd have done it sooner. It makes a really useful, and fun, two barreled set.

Here's mine:

These two barrel 28 gauges are out there right now and are selling for thousands less than they were a few years ago. Go for it.

Anybody that has ever altered their Parkers from original have thought the same thing. And therein lies the problem.
