I would have to say these Parker’s we write about and talk about all the time are the best guns I’ve ever owned. I get more enjoyment from them than any other gun. I have a couple guns with more sentimental value than my Parker’s but they don’t come close in actual value.

Seriously, probably my 20 gauge Trojan my wife gave me when we got married. I shot a lot of quail with it for about 10 years when it was my only quail gun effectively. Then I started collecting and it comes out only occasionally

I did hunt with my nephrew and his black lab this winter, but I cannot claim any of the results.

Depends on the definition of best. I had a Purdey for a while that even though used a bunch still cost an insane amount of money. Turned out it was one of the worst I ever owned in terms of shootability but it certainly was best in terms of cost.
I have a Win 101 that was one of the first quality guns I owned. Shot damn near everything with it and I mean everything except a deer. I have well over 150 k rounds through it and only had to replace the firing pins once and that was because I fed it a steady diet of Alcan primers that pierced and eroded the tips. In those terms I would have rate it as one of my best. However, the most dear to my heart is my first Parker repro 20 that quickly became my go-to grouse gun and has remained so for many a year. If I go grouse hunting without it I feel like I'm cheating on someone and should be looking behind my back. It just may be the best of the best. |

I had my repro 20 on this last hunt. Can’t claim anything because my shooting skills are gone!
