I didn't get my first Parker until in the late '80's or early '90's: An ad said a VH 30inch "Turkey Gun." That piqued my interest, as by then I knew Parker never made "Turkey Guns," so I called the guy who said the gun had been used by his father for ducks & geese all his life on the Chesapeake Bay. But with steel shot regulations, he couldn't shoot it anymore. I bought it for I think around $700. I took it hunting, & my son flushed a quail that flew by me. I shot, and killed it, and thought "Well, I'll be damned." The gun had too much drop, was choked too full, had too many triggers, and LOP was too long, but the Parker & the quail didn't know that. Then, it happened again, and I thought "this is a lucky gun." I traded that gun for a prettier single trigger repro; killed ducks with it, but learned the error of my ways, and I now have a 12 Ga 32" VH, and a 28" 28Ga Repro, both double triggered, and Love them.
