You're preaching to the choir here Craig. You know how I love the Fox 20 and I manage to shoot it fairly well. To me, they are a much more livelier handling gun. That's not to knock the Parker 20's I own. I own a few and enjoy shooting them but 9 out of 10 times I will pick a Fox over the Parker. I also have a Lefever 20 which is in the same league as the Fox. But with out a doubt my Parker 28's are in a league by themselves. As a sidebar, the Parker 28 on a OO frame is the same size as a Fox smallbore frame. Too bad Fox never saw fit to make a 28.
As far as 2023 acquisitions I did acquire a nice 12ga A grade with 30in tubes and a 20ga Parker Trojan with 26in tubes and the doll's head extension bequeathed to me by a lifelong friend.
