I don’t have a Reproduction 20, but do hunt a 20ga Parker most days for grouse and woodcock, it being a cut barrel amalgamation of several Parkers to arrive at my ideal. It draws comments from even my dear friends not to mention any names, but Dean upon seeing it asked “how many Parkers is this”? It works for me because it allows me the confidence to kill grouse. It left Meriden as a 28” 28ga. And that configuration is how I use it with the Setter once we return home from the grouse covers and play with pheasants. 6lbs 9oz. as a 28ga and 6 lbs 8oz with the perfect length 26 3/4” 20ga barrels. It handles differently to my mind even with those very minor differences. My mind and it’s workings have been questioned often.
I do want to try a Reproduction 28ga. Having handled but a few my friends have given me limited opportunities to handle. I have read all the reports and some say too whippy too light weight, but I need to satisfy this in my mind.
Anyone, see a capped grip, double trigger, splinter or BT , 28ga needing a new home. Please let me know. I keep up with most of the sale sites, but have yet to see the right gun at the same time I have money.
