My first Parker.

NICE... five ducks - what these guns are made for... not stags!

[Dean Romig]

At the tip of the lowest duck's wing there appears to be a duck blind with two shooters in it. Am I seeing things or do you guys see it too??

[Craig Larter]

No duck blind but that would be neat.

What a sweetheart she is! Awesome flock of turnip's.

Yes Craig; it is Fred Kimble and W.W Greener, the latter on an extremely rare and secretive trip to America to compare choke boring philosophies, design, and efficiency. Afterwards no doubt there was a 'gentleman's agreement' as to who would claim to be the true inventor of choke. And there is no blind because, as all of the hard core duck killers know, .."the best blind is no blind at all."

A friend of mine is a celebrated Michigan wildlife artist who won the duck and trout stamp competitions 7 times. One of his winning duck stamps had hunters in a blind in the background. After that, hunters depictions were outlawed. Another example of PC taking over. Imagine - the people who buy the stamps cannot be shown in the stamp.

Craig,
Wow! That's one hell of a first Parker. Too bad you can't shoot it in the Bo Whoop for score. Looking forward to drooling over it at the Southern.

Looks like a very nice and fairly unmolested C. For your first, you did it right!

A couple of lightly buggered screws, IMHO, doesn't even begin to enter the category of "fairly unmolested". It's just a very, very nice CH.

I especially like the ^^^^^^^ border engraving rather than the often seen XXXXXXXX style of border engraving.

Absolutely Dean, A person gets to thinking he knowes a little something then he's humbled by a keen eye I didn't even notice the border.
