I've been told that Garry but my eyes are still horizontal!! I have two Italian guns coming, both O/U but that doesn't take anything away from my love of Parkers. In my mind, whether they are up and down or side to side you just cannot have too many. A friend of mine a few weeks ago said, "You should just buy one gun and shoot it, you don't need a bunch." Now what the hell kind of crappy advice is that!!!

Andy, Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their life. Haha. I’ve got a CH 0 frame with Damascus 26” barrels and it’s a joy to carry in the grouse woods. I carried a VHE 16 with 28” barrels for quail in Kansas this year and loved it. As I was typing this I realized it was the gun I shot with you at Haussman’s last year.

That was spoken by a man that probably shoots an 1100. Poor advise indeed!

The gun that started it, my father's Savage 775a in 16ga along with my first double gun, a Stevens 5100 in 16ga, and a Fox Sterlingworth Ejector and Parker Trojan, both in 16ga. Not shown: Fox A Grade in 16ga. I like 16's...

0 frame 16 Parkers are my current favorite too. I have several and just want more. I have some 1 frames that are quite nice too.

16s are kinda like potato chips......I shouldn't have bought that first one! Have several and am always looking for another. Especially 0 frames.

I have a nice condition Trojan 16 with 26" barrels which handles just dandy and fits me nice. Only problem with it for grouse is that it has two German chokes, both of them being GuttenTight I don't want to have them opened up, but I'm surprised how this basic Parker is one of my very favorites. I shot one woodcock with it, I had a pair of wings come down from the heavens.

For tight chokes, I just let the birds get a bit further. If that doesn't work, buy another gun and use the current one for something else.
