Can't call any one gun my favorite! Any gun I happen to have with me when I get out into the woods and fields is my favorite for that day. I like my Parkers, Foxes, RBL's, Brownings, etc. I can however say that my favorite gauge is the 20.

My favorite of all of them is hands down Gunner's Gun. I could part with them all except this one.

My favorite could be any Parker that I have carried behind my dogs. However, after a difficult second barrel kill on a bobwhite a few years ago, my favorite now is my little 28 gauge bored cylinder and full. The little cockbird had reached the forty yard mark and has turned around a honeysuckle thicket and was all but out of sight when I fired. My companion gave up the bird as lost, but I sent Eva into the area of the shot and she came out with a dead bird. The little VH has earned a place in the back of the truck.

So it has to be my favorite- My father-in-law willed it to me- a VHE 12 with 30" M&F barrels made in aprox 1929, by the serial number look-up the PGCA makes available. I passed on the Parker GHE .410 ;made in 1937 in Ilion, again as verified by the serial number look-up herein and once I priced out both 2.5" and 3" .410 bore shotshells-And I am still "on the fence" about the 1926 era AH Fox 12 AE- again, 30" M&F like the Parker VHE- mainly due to the buttstock issues-
I also shoot a Browning 20 Superposed for quail and dove, and a Browning 12 Auto-Five, mainly for water=fowling with steel shot. The Parker is my favorite shotgun for pheasants, hands down.

Carried out my 10ga 32 in lifter this morning for the first time hunting with it. Had my limit of dove in an hour and a few minutes. Lots of fun. My two friends had there's a little sooner with their auto loaders but I think I had more fun. Took me a while to remember to cock the hammers and move to the rear trigger for the second shot. I had to laugh at myself. Carvel

I had a few RST ounce and one eighth 1140 fps 7&1/2's factory loads and the rest were some reloads federal hulls, 30gr of unique 1&1/8 oz of #8 loaded with nitro card over the powder 2 , 1/2in fiber spacers and a rolled crimp. All seemed to work well. Carvel
