I hope to find the one I can't live without. Not sure what that might be until I see it...and hold it. It will probably be a turn of the
Century-ish Parker (I like the era's engraving) with Damascus (or Bernard) barrels, light in weight, with a straight/splinter/two triggers, high dimensions configuration (and open chokes). Who knows, I may just find it.

The more i've thought about Craig's post the more sense it makes. Thinking back, none of my favorite guns are guns I went after, trying to find. All of them were offered to me by friends, either close by, or long distant internet friends, or i just happened upon them.

Reminds me of an old saying that....."You'll back over more good luck than you'll ever run down".

Fun, ain't it?

I shot a 460 Weatherby once. Never again. That damn thing would give you a concussion.

Three guns are on my wish list:
1. Browning Citori 725 28 gauge 32 inch barrels grade III or higher.
2. GH Parker 16 gauge with 30 inch barrels for complete make over and restocked to my dimensions.
3. Parker GH 12 gauge with 32 inch barrels.

Charlie, most 36" eight gauge Parkers weigh more than you specify.

I have been thinking on this and like Gary I will know it when I see it. But most of all, I want for my friends who missed last year to be healthy and able this year.

I think I want some 20-gauge Skeet Guns -- Fox-Sterlingworth Skeet & Upland Game Gun, Remington Model 31 (1941 version), Winchester Model 21, etc.

But, as above we'll see what actually strikes my fancy.
