My first "Parker" was a repo 28ga straight stock and SST. At the time I figured it was as close to a real Parker as I was going to get. I also bought a 20ga when they went on sale at the end from Cape Outfitters. That gun was a PG, splinter and SST. I hunted a lot of Grouse and Pheasants with both guns in all kinds of weather and never experienced any type of mechanical malfunction. IMHO the 20 is a little heavy but the 28 is a dream. I doubt you will find a better value for your hard earned dollars than a Parker Repo in whatever gauge and configuration you choose.
