I never think of Prarie upland game ,as I always equate the West as Geese/duck country? I think the idea as an walk up upland bird gun sounds about right, as I use it for the same purpose in the old choked logging roads of North Western Ontario, the shots are all on the ground or running between the trees, it is similiar to hunting running rabbits, most who never hunt here scorn at us for shooting ground birds, but till you hunt here you will relize the only place they fly up is into the nearest tree, wich is ussually 10 feet at most away! I thought the shot size and powder weight and weight of the gun was substantial for use as upland game, but it is sure a pleasure to shoot, no recoil at all with #5 shot, my favorite size for partridge.
If anyone else can provide details of what there no saftey gun was choked and what load it was set up for I would appreciate it!
Funny one day I am in the book store and find a Copy of Parker Guns, not knowing anything about them, and a year later this gun falls into my lap! Sure hard to find my second Parker that is as nice as this!

cheers all, dale Z in Thunder bay Ontario Canada
