I used to feel that way. Then I realized so many super nice guns of the period had pads added so I have taken that spec off my "do not buy".

The features which hold the least appeal to me in no particular order are:
1. Single triggers 2. Recoil pads " Especially on Grade 3 or higher Parkers" 3. Ejectors 4. Barrels longer than 30" 5. Frames sizes larger than 1 1/2 6. Big bulky beavertail forearms 7. Vent ribs on a SxS With That said: I own or have owned examples of all those pet peeve type guns. I guess it's just part of the my doublegun addiction. My preference is 16-20 gauge guns with double triggers, extractors, splinter forearm, around 6.5lbs and those just right sized 28" barrels. |

Well, I really enjoy your posts. Nothing exciting happening here in the smokies today except picking up a set of 20 barrels after having a dent removed. Where is Bruce today, he always kicks in some meaningful info.? You guys are the best!

We're in Gatlinburg. Was called back into the military after 9/11 and did another 8 years before returning to TN and retirement to sell real estate. Enjoyed a lot of gun shows and picked up a Parker or two there. Always enjoy seeing what everyone is doing on the forum. Just sold a nice cabin for a client who was a B52 pilot back in the day.

I won't buy any gun I'm afraid to bring into the field or shoot (probably can't afford it anyways). Likewise I won't buy any old cane fly rod I'd be afraid to fish with.
