Although the Repros probably represent the best buy in a modern SXS shotgun they have never been purported to have the same balance and feel of an original Parker configured the same way.

To me at least, an older gun, be it Remington, Fox, Smith or Parker, all "feel" different when you close them. Sort of like closing a heavy door on an old Buick. I love my repros but they are different.

I lied about the virgins. I have only seen near virgins so no sacrifice was involved.

Yep, if you're lucky enough to find an original Parker with only a 2 1/4" drop and a 14 3/8" or longer LOP it's amazing how similar in feel they can be to the sweet handling Repros.
