Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

The difference is in mere ounces. The 0-frame 28 gauge barrels are 'swamped' very acutely and the gun balances exactly where it should... right on the pin. The difference between a 00-frame 28 ga. Parker with 28" barrels and a 0-frame 28 ga. Parker with 28" barrels, all else being equal, is hardly noticable. I've carried both and the tiny difference is quite negligible.

The purpose of the 28 is a lighter, faster handleing upland gun. I wouldn't use a 9lb Beretta O/U with 28ga sub guage tubes to go Grouse hunting any more than I'd take my 28ga 00 frame VHE to a registered skeet shoot.
If you want to carry an 0 frame gun than the 20ga makes more sence. If you persist in using a 1 1/8 0z load of shot for a 16 than you might as well use a 12.
