I got a well worn but wonderful fitting 16g on 0 frame VHE from JOSH LOEW and it's beyond what I expected. Will be a bird killing machine at 26" and choked Sk/Mod and my go to gun this year in Maine. Seems I'm having a love affair with 16g 0 framed Parkers : )

I love those open choked, short barreled Parkers for grouse. You got a good one!

The good wife permitted two small bore acquisitions: and AHE and BHE, both 20s with straight/splinter, two trigger configurations...and choked for hunting, not "killing" inanimate objects beyond my range to see.
