Andy I agree with you but you should also look at A H Fox 16's (built on 20 ga frames) in the same configuration, also fantastic guns for grouse & wood cock and a joy for old farts to carry.

Thank you George, I'm afraid to go down the rabbit hole of another maker for obvious reasons of financial well being : )
And Chris, what do you think looking at this face?

Andy, I'm with you on upland bird guns. Nothing beats the 16g. As you know, I love to use my Parker and Lefever guns interchangeably for birds. Grasshopper, keep your focus on the Parkers, you'll be glad you did.

Thank you Mike. I have yet to find the Lefever magic and kinda hope I don't. I have to stay focused. My gun buying is done for this month anyways : )

Despite what the Crazy Polish guy may say an AH Fox 16 is a nice walking gun . Had an AH Fox A grade 16 with 26” barrels that was quite nice in the dove field or out chasing quail .

Andy, you are lucky you have your wonderful gun, excellent pup, and a place to hunt...and perhaps equally lucky that you appreciate it all while it's happening. There is nothing quite like the upland shooting life (thanks GBE).
I hope it all continues for you just as you described so well.

Hopefully the USPS Gods will shine and my new VH 16 0 frame will be here by the end of the week in time for the annual quail hunt
