I think the 16 is just right.
I’m lucky the first Parker I fired was a 16.
There are no 16 Ga repros? Correct?
Is there a sxs 16 modern gun?
The cost of 16 Ga shells and abcence of light loads is pushing me to reloading.

I had Arrieta built what I consider the perfect prairie gun, through the now defunct New England Arms: a 16 gauge sidelock with 30" barrels, custom dimensions, straight grip, splinter forend, and super wood. It has been my favorite upland gun for 20 years.
I bring other guns along, because good guns deserve to be shot, but if I am experiencing a shooting slump, I know which case to reach for.
