I'm the onlty Parker guy I knoiw who doesn't shoot anthing else unless it is from London. Those Fox 20 bores look wonderful, But after all is said and done, they are not Parkers. I have a stgrong bias for Parkersn since I grew up with them. When I was only ten, my grandfather took one of his DHE's out in the yard and let me shoot it. It kicked me like hell but I would never admit it. Fox small bores are great, no doubt about it, But I would feel dirty if I took one into my grouse coverts.

I think I'll stay away from the Fox booth at the Vintagers. It would break my heart to see Kevin there and not at a Parker booth. He was a mainstay at Parker booths for many years. Seeing him at that booth is akin to General Washington seeing Benedict Arnold wearing a British uniform.
