Your favorite configuration
 
How do you like your Parkers stocked? Straight, PG, splinter or beavertail forarm? I much prefer the looks and handeling of a straight stocked gun. If I'm going out for clays I like the BTF, if its bird hunting either one is fine with me.

Like you Rich, I like a straight grip, splinter, double triggers, skeleton buttplate.

I cry inside a little whenever I think of the one I let slip away about five years ago... A DHE twelve gauge, thirty-inch Damascus barrels on a 1-frame, checkered all-over splinter forend, georgeous marblecake circassian walnut, skeleton buttplate... for $3K :crying:

I too like staight stock and splinter forend with double triggers and automatic safety. The last two Parkers I've had to restock received a checkered butt.

I like a full pistol grip stock and splinter forend on a gun with double triggers.

Amen brother...:bowdown: And I ain,t talkin shotguns here..

I own one straight grip/beavertail gun and all the rest are pistol grip guns with either splinter or trap forend. The splinter is fine on a field gun but I really like trap forends on target guns. My choice in triggers is double without a doubt.

I like a SG/DT/BTFE on a 28ga gun and SG/DT/SFE on all the rest.

The beavertail on a 28ga is just so perfectly proportioned! But BTs seem too wide in the larger gauges.

And to me, nothing seems more classic than straight grips, double triggers, and splinter fore-ends!

My 12 and 20 gauge Parker Reproductions are straight stock/splinter forend, since they are heavy enough and there's plenty to hold onto. My 28 ga. Repro. has a pistol grip and beavertail, because I find it easier to control such a light gun using that configuration. All my double guns, even my Beretta 687 EELL O/U, have 2 triggers, due to the fact that they all have 2 barrels :shock:!
