I'm thinking of parting with my Parker 28gauge and picking up something from h&h, westley or Rigby in a more useable caliber. The 28 is neat but I just never use it, I get my 12s more often then not.

I have a C.G. Bonehill sidelock ejector gun that I love. Built in Birmingham circa 1931. It was probably built as a fowler. It is a 12 ga.,has original 2 3/4" chambers, 30" barrels choked Mod. and Full. Minimum barrel wall thickness .035 right tube .040 left tube. The gun weighs 7 lbs. 4 oz. and makes a great clays gun for SXS shoots as well as a cool pheasant gun with RST spreaders in the mod. tube.

I don't know, if I could find a good vierling, I think id discard my 28gauge Parker in a heartbeat, they are tough to come by though.

The more I think about it and read this thread, the more I realize, I need a vierling, really bad!

16x16x7x57x7x57 please.

Not meaning to be argumentative but I'll grab a 10 or 16 way quicker then a 12 . And in my ALWAYS BIASED OPINION unless it's a goosey or duckie or turkey I can kill it just as quickly or easily with the 28 as I can with a 12

Haha I'm still working on killing them with a 12...so attempting to kill a turkey with a 28 is along way off.

Why grab a 10 over a 12? For what game and details please, sounds interesting.
