I like small bore Parkers and Foxes. I like the ones with some nice, original condition, and the longer the barrels the better. And I like unique features like straight stocks, vent ribs, double ivory beads etc. So if its bigger than a 16 gauge I am not interested. If the barrel is shorter than 30" I am not as interested. And if it has been fully restored I am generally not interested. The most difficult thing that I have learned is I can't own them all, therefore I have really narrowed my interests. It is not easy but I am trying. And by being so "narrowly" focused I have learned that very few guns meet all my criteria which is a lot easier on the wallet! At least until one comes along that does work for me.
Garry my dream gun would be a 30" or 32" vent rib, straight stock, beavertail, double trigger 28 gauge or with a monte carlo stock! What a gun that would be!

Reggie, we could go to auctions together and root each other on. I'd promise to leave all the beavertail, vent rib (forgot to add that one earlier), and monte carlo stocked guns for you. Those other features of your dream gun...well, now that's a different story.
