			Not to be wise, the perfect grouse gun is one I can hit them with with any sense of regularity Electrical tape or not  Light but not too light and and it fits, everything else is extra

			Dean, You already know my definition of the perfect grouse gun.    For now...  The problem is we always find a gun that we think will be just a bit better.

			I have not shot a rough grouse since I was about 15 or 16.  So, since I got one, my perfect grouse gun is a VH 32" M/F DHBP CPG - also the gun that got me involved with PGCA trying to find new barrels.  Also my Dad's gun so, all in all, it is the perfect Parker.

			This is an easy one for me.  My straight grip, 28 VH, IC/M at 5.5lb.  Can carry it all day one handed while pushing limbs and brush aside with the other.  Deadly little wand it is.

			First off there is no perfect Grouse gun. Ok now that thats cleared up it depends on the time of the season. Early on when the leaves are thick I like a DHE 20 straight grip and choked cyl/cyl. Early October when the Woodcock are available a VHE 28 also straight grip choked skt/skt sees the coverts. This year a certain AA 28 w/ball grip will make it's debut  When the leaves begin to fall and visability increases then the 28 inch damascuss GH 16 comes out to play with the ic/m chokes. In reality the perfect Grouse gun is the one I'm carrying at the time I'm hunting Mr. Grouse   | ||||||
