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!
