Winchester 21

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Bill,

I figured Dave and Dean would expound on the vitures of a 16 gauge Parker for patridge

Well, a "new guy" will weight in on this. As I have yet to shoot my first Parker, something I plan on doing next week when my 16 gauge arrives, I do own two Model 21's, one 16 gauge and one 20 gauge, the 16 being a 1948 gun and the 20 1946. The 16 is a single trigger, and is nice to shoot but my favorite is my 20. It has double triggers with ejectors. Not a common combination. Both have 28" barrels and swing and balance nice, but the 20 seems to point effortlessly, for me at least. While both have very nice wood for field grades, the twenty is a cut above the 16. I love my 21's, and can't wait to get to know my parker.

The Parker sixteens are nice for sure. I use one of my 0-frame hammer guns for grouse and woodcock and it's a delight to carry all day in the thick stuff and points like my own finger but I'll still go to one of my twenty-eights most of the time.

If I shot a ten gauge like Bill does I could save a lot of the money I spend at the skeet club practicing up for grouse and woodcock season
