I took my Parker Repro 28 with 28” barrels and DT out to SD last week…took a sharpy and a chicken on my walk I made last Friday, then finished my 3 bird pheasant limit on Monday by 10:31 am, hunting some small cattail sloughs. I was shooting 1 oz of #5 lead for pheasants, and 15/16 oz of lead #6’s for the prairie birds on Friday. My gun was super tight when I acquired it 4-5 years ago, so I had Mr. Eyster open it up in 2022…I sat in his shop while he worked on it…very cool experience! It’s currently around .014/.024….I forgot, I used it extensively in ND as well last month hunting sharpy’s and huns…love it, love it, love it! I waited til week 2 to break it out there, due to the chokes. Despite being fairly tight, I’ve shot it really well (for me!). The 3 pheasants in 31 minutes was really fun, especially since all the action occurred in a 6-7 minute span….will never forget that. Me and my 9 year old lab…pretty lonely, remote spot….all to ourselves…🍻👍😄
