I'm probably lean the other way from Craig. Even though I grew up mostly hunting waterfowl. My true love is following my dogs in the uplands. Being a man of the big western fields. I gravitate toward the more svelte light trim Parkers of any gauge.
My first love is an 0-framed 16ga or a Fox 16 with 3-4 weight barrels. I like them to be 6 1/2Lb's or less. Love Damascus barrels !!! This would be followed by anything 20ga in a Parker or Fox. My current passion is 1-Frame Parker 12's which are dimensioned on the trim side and come in under seven pounds. Then there's my repro 28" DT 28ga that talks to my heart every time I see it.
Now with that said: I can easily see a 3 frame 12 or 10ga Parker residing in the safe someday.
Oh heck. Who am I kidding. I'm hopeless. I love them all!!!!
