Winchester 21 or Parker DH?

[Jim DiSpagno]

Although proclaimed "strongest" American double, if its strength you want, then the Win model 24 is as strong as the 21 and at a fraction of the cost. If your want a tractor, buy a Deere, if you want a Cadillac, get a Parker JMHO

Tractor...no,
Monster truck...perhaps

I can't see anyway for a 26 inch barreled gun that weighs 8LBS being "svelte", not in my wildest dreams. My BHE 30 inch Pigeon gun is only slightly more than 8LBS on a #2 frame.

Back in about 1977, I was offered a Model 21 Duck Gun for $500.00.
Once I saw it I passed, that sucker rattled! It didn't latch tightly and was off face to boot. It was the loosest one I ever held.

I have owned and shot a Model 21 in both 16 and 20 gauge. But not for long

Now if you want the uglist American double buy a M24. They are really two Model 37s stuck together. Winchester should have it called the Model 74.
