I'd vote for the repro, only because I have a VH, VHE, PH 20 and Grade O hammer gun with 16 an 20 ga barrels.

I bought my son a 20ga. Trojan made in 1913, exactly 100 years older than him. It has 28 inch barrels and choked IC/M with a 14" LOP. It weighs 6 pounds. He is still a little too young for it, but he is excited about it. It should be a gun he enjoys for a lifetime and is his first Parker.

I’d opt for the 28” bbls, BUT, if the DHE repro has double triggers I might opt for it and look for a set of longer bbls later.

The repro has sold so I think I'm going to see what I may be able to find at the Southern SxS.

At this time in history you may want to go for something with barrels suitable for all manner of non-toxic shot like the "Cryo Pattern" stress relieved barrels with the "Tuff Bore" coating of the RBL-20. Just a thought.

What a great gift! I wish my dad had the same decision to make when I was 10, haha! Life was much simpler back then. We went down to K-Mart and dad bought me an H&R 20ga. Still have it. I own a repro 28, great gun, I'd go with the repro 20. He'll grow into and appreciate a nice graded gun!

He's a really good kid. Makes straight A's in school and loves shooting his 28ga with me in sporting clays, but really wants a Parker like mine. I have a very nice 12ga VHE I may sell or trade to help fund him a decent one. I feel investing money in a nice Parker for him will be better money spent than video games and other things at his age..
