In Parkers, probably my two remaining 8 gauges. A PH with 36" barrels and a hammered V equivalent with 34" barrels. The rest to keep are all my pre 64 Winchesters, especially the .22s and the model 70s. Nothing beats a Winchester 22 to walk the farm with and wipe out apples, golden rod galls and other sundry beasties. In this last group, my favorites are model 90s in 22 short and 22 long rifle, and a pre war model 61 in 22 shot. If you want sport, sit on a grassy hillside near a small pond on a hot summer day and shoot dragon flies with such a gun. My wife bought it for me 25 years ago and it is my all time favorite.
