Daryl,

Nope, not yet at least! Maybe the end of this week but I think I'll keep it! Heck, it will be my only small bore Parker!

My first hunting trip with the H&H was in a pouring down rain. I don;t have an A grade to leave in the safe...yet. Friday might be a different story we will have to wait and see. It won't stay in the safe however thats for sure

not a Parker story - but

During the short time I lived in PA, a shooting friend from a NY shotgun zone wanted to come down and get the chance to hunt with one of his rifles. I had access to hunt two connecting farms that ajoined my property, but I am not a big deer hunter and at that time did not own a rifle. No problem he said he would bring a extra for me. So on the wettest day I have ever gone afield in (we went back to the house to change and run stuff through the dryer twice) he loaned me a low two digit ( 3x ) serial number Winchester model 70 in 30-06.

I said, you can't be serious about my taking this collecter's piece out in this weather, but he said that was what it was made for.

I'm envious. I live in Northcentral PA and we have too much snow for this old guy to navigate. Supposed to warm up this week though and am hoping it knocks the snow down to a manageable level.

My son recently purchased a 20 ga BSS with 28 inch barrels and factory choked skeet/skeet with a non selective trigger which makes it one of the earlier guns. He shoots it really well and I've shot it at clays some. Still prefer my parker repro but it is a nice gun with an unusual configuration.

Parker Hunt.JPGMy friend and I took two UVA students on their first duck hunt. Had a great day.
I took the old DHE 12ga with RST nice shot 4s.
There are two Mallard Hens and two lesser geese under the D grade.

Russ,
What a beautiful Parker. I dont believe I have ever seen a C grade in person. Working 'til noon today, brought my VH 16 , and my setters, Betty and Shiner, to work and planned on hitting the grouse covers this afternoon--but now it is raining and I hate hunting in the cold rain, pushing the the dripping brush in about 5" of old snow. I almost grabbed my VH 20 with 26" cyl/mod , but it will have to wait for a nicer day.
Big gun show in Washington, Pa this weekend, if its raining I might have to go and look around.
