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.

I have a Darne 20 gauge, English stock. I have had it for over 30 years. It is very light, and you won't find a shotgun with the balance point closer to the triggers. This results in very quick handling, to the point that it is difficult to master. Takes a while to catch up to it after shooting something else. It is a fast handling, fun shotgun.
The cam action means the shells are held tight, no headspace. Because of this, felt recoil is very mild.
The swamped rib is different, but is not something that I notice when shooting. I shoot the Parkers most of the time, but I like the little Darne a lot. It is a beautiful design and a historic French contribution to our sport.

I do not doubt you for a moment , but with all sincerity I can attest to the fact the little 20 I had would kick the snot out of you shootings mounted gun on the skeet field . Now perhaps the gun didn't fit me well , but I was shooting an average of about 23/25 a round . So it must not have been to bad , the 12 on the other hand "to me" was a good bit milder recoil wise .
