I’ve kept my first year Ruger Red Label choked IC/M, and it too, has very nice wood. I regret selling a 3200 Skeet with comp wood, 20 ga. 3” Wingmaster, Ruger Deerstalker .44Mag, and a Parker Repro SSS.

A 1935 Runge Delgrego 12 ga. 32" vent rib trap gun, upgraded to A-1 Special.
Also, a two BBL set DHE 20 gauge. This was the "Doctor's Gun" I wrote about in the Parker Pages. (It went to a good home)
Finances can be a beezatch sometimes!

So I can blame You then.... Good! A huge weight of guilt has been lifted!

Two easy choices:
1. Fox Single Barrel Trap
2. Lefever EE 30 inch barrels close to 90% gun.

Money went for great cause two daughters in grand school.

Daughters are hard on us. 243 Super Grade, and a Browning Safari on the round top Sako in 22/250 pencil barrel.

Oh...Parker DHE 20 26' 2 triggers, ORIG 5LBS 12OZ etc...Ithaca 4E 20 orig..painful to remember but great memories!

I thought about selling Julia's VH 16 but my son vetoed it. That probably would have been a regret.

I have a few regrets but the biggest is a CE grade fox 20 bore. It was a beautiful high condition gun purchased from Niles at Safari Outfitters.. It had 26" original full choke barrels. Not a common configuration. I kept it for a year or so and then sold it because it wasn't a Parker. At one point, I sold all my non Parker doubles except for a 28 bore Holland. I now just shoot Parkers and the Holland. But I sure do wish I still had the CE.

Tom, is the H&H 28 a Badminton with detachable locks, casedin oak&leather? My son inherited that gun,but sold it to Niles to buy his plane.
I’m pretty sure I owned that CE20. it was near new and I bought it from Safari, and sold it back 5-6 years later, maybe at the Sandanona Vintagers.
