i have heard its easier from the inside

Bobby;
Tell us what you are looking for as far as a Parker is concerned and maybe someone on this forum could help you. If you can make the Deep river event you are welcome to shoot any one of the 7 or 8 Parkers I will be bringing. If you can make it on Thurs. check out the "2015 Spring Southern at Drake Landing" thread on the General Parker discussion forum. A really informal shoot with plenty of Parkers to choose from. Hope to see you there.

My budget is limited Double Lab.
I'm going to sell a couple of my bamboo fly rods for some extra dough.

I would like to find a hammerless 20 or 16 gauge with 26" or 28" barrels
in good to very good condition. Most probably a VH grade.

Unless someone takes pity on me and sells me a DHE for 4 grand!! :whistle:

Bobby,
I have bought VH 20's and 16's for well under 4k. I think for that money you should be able to find a very nice "first Parker".
