1st Parker and love it

[Chris Robenalt]

Yes Jeff, there's an arsenal of great American sxs you'll want to explore. I love my Parkers, but my go to guns are my Foxes, especially the 20s. They are the ones I started my collection with. Variety is good, I have all the American doubles you mentioned in your post. Each has something unique to offer and admire. It's not abnormal for our wives to frown on and not support our hobbies such as our love and desire for fine shotguns. I solved this dilemma by having my safes in my garage. The new guns never enter the house, although anymore I don't think my wife cares. Be careful, once you start acquiring you'll find it hard to stop!

Yes, I believe there are plenty to choose from and sometimes it's difficult. I've collected quite a few over the years and have now started getting some to replace those that I sold long ago. I consider guns somewhat of "terminal" disease that I just have become addicted to. But I do have to say aside from handguns, rifles, over/unders, pumps, my newest addiction is becoming SXS. I understand the safe issue. When I building our house a couple of years ago, I knew I was going to end up with a 25 yard area due to an additional retaining wall. I affectionately call it "the bowling alley", where I had the safe lowered into it.
I'm currently looking at 4-5 other SXS's, 2 of which are Parkers, a Fox, and a Smith, possibly an Ithaca.
I see you live in Tempe, I used to live in Queen Creek when there were only about 3000 there. Big difference. I'm coming down for a month mid-January to see friends and grandchildren.
Have a great day.
