Parker and Lefever guns for me. I have a Browning BSS with a custom stock and ISIS system for waterfowl and crows, and an Ithaca 37 12g which I occasionally use for nostalgia reasons as it was my first shotgun. I have one Darne and a 16g Stevens that was my Pappy's favorite meat gun.

I own them all and I shoot them all. As I have explained before, about 95% of my guns are shooters in field used condition. The rest are collector guns that I also shoot.

My focus has been since my first Parker the 20ga. I have way too many and can't give them all enough court time. Still I shot them at targets and birds for many years. I am a reformed Parker snob now that my eyes have been opened.

That is until I got my first Fox 20. What a game changer. Rita and Fentress are their names.
Then a Lefever 20 came along. Now the slope is getting slippery.
Had to have a British gun so along came a Wm. Ford 20, 30" hammer.
Recently acquired Ithaca NID 20 with 30" tubes was added to the fold. How could I have overlooked Ithaca for so long?

Mod12 20 with a solid rib. Just reeks of nostalgia.

I can trace this smallbore addiction back to my first gun my father gave me. A Stevens 311 which I still have. I hunted everything with that gun and never felt undergunned.

I'll leave the 12 and 28 gauges for another discussion.

Yes, it is nice to have choices Brett.
