I truly enjoy my 16 gauge parker VH. It has its place as a great carry field gun that makes the miles of walking for pheasants pleasant. I also own a Model 21 trap gun bored full and full that is a very handsome gun, that is at home on the sporting clay course as well as Hunting when you don't have to carry it all day. They both have a time and place to be carried and used.

I have other SXS's that I also enjoy depending on the day and sport that I would rather shoot and not worry about screwing up a $5K-12K gun. Just another tool in the tool box.

Just My opinion...

You would think that a two barrel set would be the epitome of versatility. My experience with them is that only one set of barrels is used 95% of the time. the Hollywood gun is a skeet/trap set and the trap barrels have never been on the gun in the 9 years I've had it. I have an AAHE up grade 28 with a second set of 28ga barrels from James Purdy that have been on the gun only a couple of times.

Rich is right about two barrel sets. The only thing the extra set is good for is enabling you to say you have a two barrel set

I have a M21 20 gauge skeet grade 2 bbl set 26" were used for grouse until I decided not to carry a $12K stumpknocker. The 30" bbls are great for preserve birds with my Lab

Bob buy two guns you'll get more use out of them.

Dig D I fell last year Grouse hunting with a CHE 20, one of only 8 with 26 inch Damascus bbls. I was bruised and banged up a little but thankfully the gun was unscathed.

A friend has a beautiful graded 20 g M21, two barrel set (28" & 30", I believe). English stock, traditional btfe. It's the ONLY M21 I have handled that didn't feel like a 2x4, it was more like a broomstick. Beautiful gun, but just didn't have the "soul" an old Parker has. M21's are about the only shotgun I don't have an affliction for.
