My other favorite guns are those passed on that I would never have bought. I re-furbished these for sentimental reasons. They turned out to fit me quite well and drop roosters at a better shell/bird ratio than the Parkers.
1. Plain Jane Remington 870 full choke (best ratio) This one really surprised me but I think it boils down to coincidental perfect fit.
2. SKB XL 900 semi auto (opened choke to Mod from Full) Tend to waste a bit of ammo with this one but like it.
Until the barrel blew on the family VH it was my favorite ever gun. I have a few more Parkers now but am not yet connecting as well as I did with the family gun. Maybe the emotional connection also plays a role. I always had a good feeling hunting with that gun no matter how the day turned out. That same feeling is not present with the newly acquired Parkers. Not to say that any day hunting isn't a great day, just different without that well used VH.
