Question In need of some senior collector advice…

As some of you may know I recently sold my 12ga DHE repro after losing the forend on a hunt. Well the wife has graciously allowed me to purchase another gun for replacement given the situation.

In roughly 3-4 months I will have about 3-6k dollars to play around with for said Parker. I will be using whatever gun it is for clay shooting and hunting grouse woodcock pheasant etc. so I’d prefer an open choked gun that has 2 3/4” chambers. But that’s just a preference my wife has insisted that the deciding factor on a purchase be that it is a,”good buy”.

I have been looking a lot recently and I’m unsure of what I should be looking for exactly. Another reproduction in 12 or 20ga? Or should I finally look for an original Parker since I’ve never owned one 12 16 or 20ga? Hammer gun?

The only Parker I own at this time is my 28ga reproduction and I shoot it well, I’m in no need of a 28ga.

So my question to you gentleman is this.

For those of you with more than one Parker in the vault, given my budget and situation what would you be looking for and advise me on? What should I look out for and avoid?

Broad question I know but I’m looking forward to hearing from y'all, thanks.
