A Parker Reproduction Sporting Clays Classic is THE most versatile SXS doublegun on the planet.

While this could be very true.... From what I am seeing, they only made 125 of these, which means the up 5K Budget would be way blown, assuming a person could ever find one for sale to begin with...

You might look into a Winchester Model 21 a 12ga especially with double trigger's will fall into your price range and you can shoot anything except steel.

I have debated that, been a while since I seen one like that in that price though....

I think a Parker repro would serve your needs. If you are ok with a 12 then a repro with 28" barrels choked IC/Mod would impress you. Mine is so marked but measures .006/.012 which I find ideal. They are not easy to find however.

Another alternative might be a Browning BSS. They are ruggedly built guns and priced under your budget.

I bought RBLs for use where non-toxic is required.

I just got a 20 RBL for the same reason

I never was over joyed by the B-SS pistol grip guns . I liked the straight grip sporters and the sidelocks . I had a B-SS sidelock 12 gauge 26” IC/M for awhile I liked it quite a bit but like many others before and after it down the road it went . Now if I were buying one it would again be the B-SS sidelock 26” but now I’d opt for the 20 gauge .

I bought a Browning BSS 28" for a marsh and travel gun for any conditions any ammo. They bring about $1500. Plenty of funds left over to buy a nice field grade Fox or Parker or sell your current Parker and upgrade to a nice GH or DH.

I wholeheartedly agree Craig and would add the Ithaca 100 series doubles also. Shoot any ammo you want.
