The gun that started me down the road to ruin
This is my VH 16 1 frame, that was my first Parker. I bought it around 1986-87. It has 28" barrels that were M/F , but back in the day I had Jerry Andrews open it up to IC/IC, no real regrets about that--I prefer open chokes, and this was bought to be my grouse gun. A Sterly 16 soon joined it. I use both now mainly for pheasant. It took 3 shots today for 2 birds--I hit the 2nd bird on the first shot, but put the 2nd barrel into him,as I don't hit him well on he first shot. Killed one over Fancy, and the second over Betty, hunting them as a brace.
