Until you put the gun on a paper target and count pellet holes in a 30" circle that was shot from 40 yards you are simply guessing what the gun will do. The components of shotshells today are different from what these guns were patterned with 100+ years ago. With plastic shot cups and magnum shot in theory they should be tighter. Parker Bros. was wonderful at marketing, better than their peers but from my own pattern tests and all the patterns Scott K has shot gun for gun Ithaca, Remington and A.H. Fox doubles will more often than not produce tighter long range patterns with the same load vs. a Parker. Heresy to some but it's the truth.
