Well lets see !
I'm VERY partial to the 10 , 16 and 28 gauges .
I shoot skeet , trap , some birds and OF COURSE deer !
So I'd need one that could be used for all of the above .
I have a nice old W.C.Scott 10 gauge damascus gun with 28" barrels thats done very nicely on the skeet field , dove fields and the deer stand !
But it's not american !
I have a Parker 16 gauge GH damascus gun that I've not really done a whole lot with even though I've owned it better then 7 years now . But it should be great for birds and skeet with an outside shot at deer !
The 28 which I no longer have a gun chambered for would pretty much be a bird and skeet only item !
So then for me the ultimate American made side by side would have to be a Parker BHE in 10 gauge with 28" fluid steel barrels choked IC/M with 3 1/2" chambers . Now I doubt very seriousely that they made a BHE in 10 gauge with 3 1/2" chambers choked IC & M but it is a fantasy isn't it !
To make it easier any Parker GH grade or better in 10 gauge that was 90% or better with 28" barrels damascus or fluid steel , choked IC/M , 2 7/8" or 3 1/2" chambers !
