Default New from OK

Just purchased my first side by side , was looking at a Beretta 486 but somehow ended up with a Parker reproduction 2 barrel set in 12ga with a single trigger . I wanted something to hunt with and I liked that it came with 2 , 28” barrels and the fact that it wasn’t new. I didn’t want to be the first one to scratch it. I wanted a 20 or a 28 but I couldn’t force myself to pay what those are going for as I only had 4k to spend. Not sure if I got a deal or not but I’m pretty happy. Should have the gun in my hands next week. It was the one Coles was selling on consignment. Can’t wait to get it out next week at the weekly trap meet up .

Congratulations! I don’t know where you are in the Sooner State, but if possible, you should consider coming to the Pheasant Fest in KC. The PGCA will be there with some nice Parkers…and this year’s raffle gun (and tickets, of course). Hope we might see you there!

I’m in OKC , I’ll be working that week. I’ll be lucky if I can get my new gun and just shoot clays next Monday!

2 sets of 28" barrels, if all the numbers are matching, is a very scarce variation of the Parker Reproduction. Congratulations.
