Shooting Parker #171

[Jay Oliver]

Mills, I remember when you first posted about your #152 and shooting it. It is exciting to take these early Parkers back into the field or out for some clays. I agree with you about finding earlier ones as well. I would love to find a higher grade back action with damscus or laminated barrels.

Seems like I remember seeing more back action guns available 3-5 years ago. I missed out on a few nice ones when I didn't know much about them. I hope to add a few more to my collection as time goes on.

I may see if I can put together a preserve hunt up here and take #171 out for some pheasant and chukar with my black powder shells. I think that would be very fun.
