Ive just got a new laptop and don't have any of my photos downloaded yet.
Russell, I have a VH 20 with 26" cyl/M--a great choke combo
Harold,

Yikes!! That sounds like a darned nice Parker. Post photos when you get the chance so I can really "dream" about it. My DH 16 is on a #1 frame and on the heavier side, but it's still a joy to use. When I hunt in the mountains, I carry a lighter gun so that I can hold the gun in one hand and hang on for dear life with the other. I am sure you know exactly what I mean.
