That was a lot of fun and we were all shooting well too!
A 28 gauge Parker with a straight grip is about as good as it gets. I was shooting a new to me 24" 28ga VH(with a straight grip) and loving every second. |

Not to be greedy...but I would like to add to this trio with a composite barreled 28ga Parker at some point. That would be perfection for sure.

Late on the draw Jay - Bill at Robin Holloe had a magnificent all origibal 28” barreled DH or DHE two years ago for $50k. .

Dean, I remember that one! I wasn't at my current level of addiction/collecting at that time.
When I saw Bill at the Southern this spring, I talked to him about that gun. It is the only damascus 28ga I have held. Given the chance again, I would raise the funds for it... |

Dean I have not seen that gun, but it sounds wonderful! I really like the 24" 28 VH I just got. That is a nice barrel length for the the woods and I am surprised how a well a short barreled gun can do on a clays course.
A quick search of TPS give the following numbers for composite barreled 28s: PH - 2 Twist GH - 38 Damascus DH - 11 Damascus CH - 3 Damascus BH - 2 Damascus AH - 1 Damascus While rare I feel like it is within the realm of possibility to find one. |
