The Perfect Gun
 

If you could order any Parker Bros shotgun in any configuration what would your perfect grouse gun be?

That's easy.

28 ga., straight grip, splinter forearm, 26 or 28" barrels, choked IC/M

As high of a grade as this dream will allow!

Tough question (Perfect) carries a large load .
Can't wait for others to reply.

I already have several of them...

A Grade 1 16 ga. t/a pistol grip hammer gun on the 0-frame with lightening cuts and a fishtail top lever and 28" Laminated Steel barrels choked IC/MOD.

Same gun with 26" barrels. Everything else is about identical to the one above but this one has less wear.

A Grade 0 16 ga. Lifter with ball grip hammer gun on the 0-frame with lightening cuts with 28" Twist Steel barrels cut back to 24".

A 28 ga. VHE on the 00-frame with 26" barrels with skeet in and IC chokes.

A DH 20 ga. with PG and 28" Damascus barrels choked IC/MOD and a leather covered pad.

A GH 16 ga. on the 0-frame with PG and 26" Damascus barrels choked about CYL & I-CYL.
I have a set of 28" 20 ga. Damascus barrels for this gun that are choked M/F.

A GHE 16 ga. on the 0-frame with 26" Damascus barrels cut back from 28" choked skeet out and skeet in.
I also have a set of 28" Titanic 20 ga. barrels choked about CYL/MOD for this gun.


Lemme see... there may be more around here someplace.... :coffee:

Grouse? I already have it, like Dean. My 18" ten gauge BH should do the job. I would prefer other guns for a classic gunning experience, but I would prefer the "little gun" if I wanted to actually kill grouse.

I was going to post 28 ga GHE skeet gun 26" skeet in skeet out, straight grip, checkered but, beavertail forend, or 16 ga DH 28" 0 frame IC/mod straight grip, splinter forend, double trigger.
But now I want to be Dean's favorite nephew....:rotf:

I would like to have alight o frame 16ga, 6lbs. To 6 1/4 lbs max. Will have 28 inch .003/ .012 pg-dt-sf. 14 1/4 1 3/8. 2 3/8 made to order she....(-: sxs ohio

OMG .… Dean has all the good guns. Bill is just plain scary. I can see him in his laboritory with Igor hacking that BH to 18". I'm thinking 16 gauge as light as possible.

GHE 16 gauge on a "0" frame 26" IC in the right and light mod in the left . Straight grip stock , with a skeleton steel buttplate LOP at 13 7/8" . Hopefully to weigh 6 pounds or a red hair under .

If it were a woodcock only thing I would say pretty much the same thing in 28 gauge on a "00" frame but weighing closer to 5 1/4 pounds . Come to think of it the 28 would be about perfecto for southern mule wagon quail hunts except with 28" pipes .

Not my idea of a grouse gun but I bet I could get it shooting handloaded buckshot well enough for driven deer !
