Nothing handels better than a small bore Parker. I can't speak for a Fox as I have never handled one, the RBL however is another story. I haven't handled one I care for.

I brought home from Hidden Holllow a AH Fox CE 16 gauge that to me handles better than my DHE 20. It may be the stock dimensions and point of balance but the little Fox is quite a gun! My DHE 20 is butt heavy and with the skeleton butt I think it will remain that way.

Of course, I also shoot a Fox CE in 12 bore very well along with my LC Smith Grade 3's. I do however pay much attention to protocol and show up for large gathering such as Hidden Hollow properly armed, with a pair of Parker 10 gauges!

Rich, I know what you are thinking but I think I'll keep my DHE 20... Also, I guess I'll have to start collecting those RST 16 hulls.

Mark I didn't know you had a 20. If your going to start scrounging RST hulls you'll need a suitable 16 and I just happen to know someone with a very nice GHE 16 skeet configured gun for sale

Rich,

Was that the gun you shot at Hidden Hollow?

Mark, if you're going to start scrounging RST hulls you better shoot about a station or two in front of Dave Miles.... that man is a scroungin' fool. He could have filled a G.I. can at Hausman's with the RST hulls he scrounged.

Dean,
I do appreciate a man with talent!

Rich,
When I recover from the new Grade 3 we will have to talk.

Dean,
Rich and I ended up with about 300 of the purple 16 gauge hulls, and probably close to 1500 of the 2-1/2" 20 gauge hulls. (which are very hard to come by) So, we're good on hulls for awhile, as I already have about 4000 of the 16 gauge hulls. (not purple) I have about 1500 rounds loaded for the U.P. Shoot.

I prefer to look at the collection of spent hulls as recycleing VS scrounging being the enviromentally friendly person I am.

Mark I will go through about 3 flats of shells myself at the U.P. shoot It is a very good venue for those of us who like to pull the trigger.
