Andy, thanks for asking those questions that many of us don't know either but hate to admit it and ask. Parkers are a good sickness, nothin like em.

For thank you's, look at the bottom right of a post - there is a "Thumbs Up". Press on that.

Thanks Big D

Won’t comment on could you shoot 1 1/8 oz but will say lot of Parker members use 7/8 oz loads for targets. If chokes are original odds are they are very tight & light shot loads give more than adequate shot density. Advantage is light recoil, significant advantage 100 plus shot round of sporting clays. I do load some 1 oz for birds when few shells will be fired.

Very nice gun

William
