My first hunt with a Parker was sixty years ago with a 12 gauge Trojan. That Trojan accounted for a lot of pheasants and rabbits as well as my only double on woodcock.
My first grouse taken with a Parker was almost twenty years ago with a Damascus GHE 16. .

My first Parker was a VH 16 with Miller Single Trigger and it is still one of my favorite guns. I've owned if for 10 years.

Hard to beat a Parker like you describe for grouse and cock. 50 years ago my uncle told me the 20ga VH, I was allowed to use was not a “good one”. I disagreed then and still am of the same opinion. The magic of the Parker gun wasn’t reserved for only the high grade examples.

I have a new VH 16 with 26" barrels that is made for quail and upland hunting. Hope to get in a hunt soon
