VHE 20 gauge

I think I must be the outlier or just plain crazy, but I don't think the price is totally outlandish, I really don't care it was restocked, re-blued and re-colored. If it's sound I would use that puppy all day long at a clays course and shoot it until my arms fell off and eyeballs popped out of my head. That's a clay bird TOY right there. For half the price of a CSM Super Bird you have something nice dedicated to clays.

Thanks for your thoughts Gary. You have accurately described my typical modus operandi. I'm looking for some solid guns to take in the field and shoot targets with. My intent at this stage is to understand what characteristics and lack there of are most significant value contributors and which flaws are most serious to try to avoid. I hope to make a few old Parkers new hunting buddies.

You're a days drive to the NE Side by Side and the Vintagers in upstate PA. You'll see a lot of guns and learn a lot. More than half the fun is learning about them, the history, and the lore. The knowledge of folks on here is astounding. Just at a glance they teach you more than all the reading.

Ol’ Stumpstalker gives very good advice!

I think all things considered that is not a bad price in this market(not great, but not bad for a gun you don't see everyday). The recoil pad turns me off a bit, but I could get used to it or change it.

I picked up a 30" 20 gauge VH at the Southern last year and I absolute love the gun. Don't tell my wife, but it is really the only Parker I would ever need. It has 2 7/8" chambers from the factory and is choked full/full. It weighs 6 3/4lbs and comes to the shoulder without thinking. This gun is had been great at everything I have done with so far...Pheasants in Kansas, a lot of sporting clays, trap, a handful of local preserve hunts wear I swear I made a successful 50 yard shot at a pheasant

If I didn't have one this one that Guns International Parker would be worth a look...

Oh my God...I'm getting light headed reading something so blasphemous...

That's a beautiful gun.

Jay, that's a perfect prairie gun, one made for wide open spaces with those barrels and chokes.

I do believe that’s the gun Jerry Smith had

I was just letting everyone know how sweet a 30" 20 really is. I agree though, I should never put something like that it writing...
