I'm pretty sure I know how I like a gun to feel and I have a bunch of Parkers that I like. I don't ask that a gun fit me perfectly because I know I can conform very easily to fit my guns. I know how my guns should feel between my hands and how they should come to my shoulder and how dynamic they should feel when swinging on a target or a gamebird. My Repros do that for me just as well as all of my original Parkers. I think a lot of this "feel" is in the mind of the shooter just as much as it is a physical thing. Repros were made to the exact in every respect, specifications of the original Remington Parkers that were used as patterns to be duplicated. Sometimes in a Repro you get a piece of wood that might be prone to breaking, and it might.... This is why Parker Bros. developed the hickory reinforcement rod through the wrist so I guess they had some complaints too, right?
