Six Foxes, three Stevens, two Parkers. Love 'em all.

Based on the numbers of shotguns it would be a tie between: Parkers and Browning Superposed followed by Fox and Smiths. However based on the number times they are shot and shell count the of Brownings win by a wide margin.

Phil that is only 18%. You need to get busy and turn that % around!

At one time I owned a number of Superposed guns, mostly 20s. But I sold them all off when I started w/ Parkers.

Reggie and George, I also collect Browning Superposed, mostly prewar, but a sprinkling of early unfired twenties, which are all postwar, introduced in 1949.

Bill I had a handful of 20s that were made in the 1950s. I always thought that those were much more lithe, better handling gun than the later Superposed guns.

I have Parkers, Lefevers, Foxes, German doubles, Browning A5s, Remingtons 11s. Along with a few other oddballs.

However, I usually shoot the Parkers, Lefevers or German guns.

I never know what is next until I know. Parkers (hammer and hammer less), Superposed, Lefevers, L C Smiths, Fox, and Ithaca. Mostly 16 doubles except for the Superlight Superposeds and a few big bore Parkers.

Default What are my favorites

I guess I drank the Koolaid several years ago. Majority are Parkers that crowd the cabinet. Seems like the nod is usually atl least one Parker when I but on my boots. I do have some Belgium SXS I like. Along with some Win 21's one Ithaca and one English 28 ga.(Which will be forsale). Almost forgot an SKB 410 Czech gun with 29" bbls that is a real killer. Shot it yesterday and put the Parkers to shame. Oh well

All my SxS's and SBT are Parkers along with Krieghoff, Beretta and Winchester but those have the barrels positioned incorrectly!
