My first shotgun was a 16. A Remington, 16 gauge, with a second set of Mod. barrels. It worked well, as a slop tolerance auto should, but it did the job, hunting most every game bird.
I profess to little hunting experience, born in California in 1945. I used my grandfather's 1906 Winchester, 12 gauge, stainless, 8K range, for everything. It worked.
After two friends turned me onto SXS, specifically, Parkers, I used 12's for the big stuff and 20's for all else. I would love to hunt quail with a Parker 28, but did not want make that investment for a DHE + shooter. I have/ do own(ed) a few high grade Parkers, but just for investment.
Back to the subject, if you had to have one Parker/ SBS, it would be a 16.
