Great question.
I'm lucky enough to just that item, my VHE 20 with a BTFE, 28", cyl/cyl, straight grip........................no wait, I mean the 28 VHE with splinter fore end, 26", mod/cyl straight grip.
Oh God! I'm so confused. Looks like I'll have to hunt twice as much next season to see which one is the favorite. Why do I feel picking a "favorite" is going to be impossible?

I think if Dean has so many that he cant remember all of them then he should put some of them up for sale in the for sale section and reduce some of the clutter around the house. It would be so much easier to dust the house.

Kathy hasn't tried shooting the 'new' Ithaca 20 ga. yet so we're not sure just now which one she'll keep.

Incidentally, one of the guns I listed was for sale but it seems nobody wanted it.

Humm... I have a 16 ga VH 0-frame, with a straight stock (14-3/4 LOP) and 28" barrels choked IC/Mod, weighting 6-lb, 2-oz that is close to perfect.

Then there is my 6-lb, 4-oz, HJ Hussey "Imperial" 12-bore SLE, with 28" barrels choked open and light mod that is pretty sweet,

But I dream of a 28 ga VH, 00-frame (lightning cuts), straight stock and 28" barrels chokes IC/Mod.

I already own it.... A VH28, straight grip, 26" tubes with a Miller ST, choked IC/Mod. For grouse, it's a gun that is carried a lot and shot a little.

There are scores of ultra discerning folks here that have the wherewithal to order any Parker they wanted for their grouse hunting needs. These individuals choose to hunt the king of all game birds with their Holy Grail -- a 28-ga. Parker Reproduction DHE with 26" bbls., choked Q1/Q2 and/or IC/M. The preferred configuration, of course, is a straight grip, splinter forend and double triggers. These esteemed Parkerites usually relegate their high grade smallbore Parkers to the safe and hunt their Repros, for they are the chosen, they are the gods of the woods.
