Dean,

Save a little of that Tennessee Whiskey for Sunday morning. Everyone will confuse you for an Episcopalian.....and if you find Cabela's is dishing out 15K for old VH 28 gauges they can have mine.

Appears they opened the new Blue Book and priced it right out of there.

There is a very nice VHE 28 at Greens guns in the $15K range.

Francis there is nothing wrong with the 28 for birds or clays. I picked up a nice VHE 28 at the U.P. about 5yrs ago. I shoot lots of birds and some clays with it.

Arn't you without a Parker at this time??

A 28 ga. is my ideal gun for skeet, a bit of SC and of course pa'tridge an' woodcock.

Not completely "Bereft- Parker-wise"
 

But the 28 gauges- both the shells and the doubles that burn them up so well on the clays- humm- I can shoot a whole ton more by using my 12's- I'm so used to their weight and feel (I love that 8 lb. 2E Smith with the 32" VR barrels) that the little 16- O frame 26" PH I traded away at the UP Shoot felt like a 28- to me. Also, as I prefer splinter forearms on my doubles (unless I get real serious about the two-man flurry derby, then a modified beavertail might get the nod) the width of a 12 double- my fingers don't interfere with my sight over the barrels- but with the smaller barrels of a 28- But I'll tell you what- if I get really lucky and win the 12 GHE DAM raffle gun this Sept, I'll put it out for trade against a nice Parker Repro DHE- 28 gauge 26" barrels IC/Mod- straight hand stock, DT, field style beavertail forearm (like the early M21 "Kidney pattern") and with nice solid red Silvers pad with a 14.5" LOP and no cast- in case- then after I've had it and shot it on clays for a few seasons, I'll let you know what I think- just please remember- I am a devout waterfowl and pheasant hunter- and in my lexicon, them birds spells 12 gauge (to me anyway)!:bigbye::bigbye::bigbye:

I can reload my 28's for less than a 12. Seeing as I won a case of RST 28's at Hausmanns, ammo won't be a problem for quite a while:). I would rather run a 22 or 23 at skeet with a 28 than 24-25 with a 12.

My VHE is straight stock, splinter forarm and double trigger. I have no problem seeing down those 28 inch skeet choked tubes.

Please send said gun to Connecticut......:bowdown:
