For all-around shooting I would opt for an original Parker with 28" barrels from DH down to VH or even Trojan. You can get one helluva nice steel-barreled or Damascus-barreled Parker in your price range. But that's just me - a dyed-in-the-wool Parker guy.

I own a 1927 225### VH with 28" M/F barrels in pretty nice shape. Has maybe a few minor cosmetic issues... But, other than that is in solid mechanical condition. I am just concerned about shooting the heavier loads in it.

I think you need a Parker Repro, Sporting Clays Classic. One gun, 28 inch barrels, multiple choke options, and shoots anything you can buy, including steel. Good luck finding one, though.

My go-to hunting gun is a 1925 VHE; 26" Vulcan barrels choked Skeet, Imp Mod. I have used it for most everything from ducks to doves to clays. I do shy away from extra heavy loads, but do use the rio elites often.

You might look into a Winchester Model 21 a 12ga especially with double trigger's will fall into your price range and you can shoot anything except steel.

I bought some Boss 2 3/4" 1350 fps 1 1/4 oz loads. Just not sure that's something I want to shoot out of my VH......

Good grief! What kind of monster birds do you expect to shoot with those loads?? Pass shooting Eiders or high-flying geese? .
