My favorite configuration...16 "O" frames..

[Andy]

My bucket list includes an O frame 16 ejector gun 26" barrels for grouse (yes, short barrels). I don't care if the wood is rotted off, I would have a stock made to my dimensions. I have two O frame 16's, and they are just the bomb. My 28g Repro was the worst Parker I ever owned so I sold that and am going to a 28g O/U instead if I want that gauge. I am pretty wedded to 16g with hand loaded 16's in RST hulls 1 oz #8 and Longshot powder. When the kids are out of college maybe that 28g Parker will show up

Andy, if you wait that long and continue to shoot a 28 O/U, your eyes will have moved, one over the other, by the time your kids are out of college. If God had intended us to shoot an O/U, he’d have made our eyes that way. (BTW, he shoots a straight/splinter, two trigger Parker with 26” barrels…)

I've been told that Garry but my eyes are still horizontal!! I have two Italian guns coming, both O/U but that doesn't take anything away from my love of Parkers. In my mind, whether they are up and down or side to side you just cannot have too many. A friend of mine a few weeks ago said, "You should just buy one gun and shoot it, you don't need a bunch." Now what the hell kind of crappy advice is that!!!

Andy, Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their life. Haha. I’ve got a CH 0 frame with Damascus 26” barrels and it’s a joy to carry in the grouse woods. I carried a VHE 16 with 28” barrels for quail in Kansas this year and loved it. As I was typing this I realized it was the gun I shot with you at Haussman’s last year.

That was spoken by a man that probably shoots an 1100. Poor advise indeed!
