Gerry, for those who are going to quail hunt with their Repro, you are very right. For those who will shoot open country grouse, doves, pheasants, or other general clay target use, the IC and MOD gun may be preferred. I didn't hunt my Repros because of the value they lose when not near mint. I have a room full of real Parkers that have the first or second layer of finish worn off already. I remember my first successful grouse shot in Maine years ago. I picked him up, dead, at a measured 48 yards. I wouldn't have wanted to have a skeet bored 28 gauge that day.
