The 20 gauge Trojan Julia gave me.

Parker Repro 16 gauge. 28" - Q1/Q2. Great for clays as well. Put Tru-Oil on the case colors and it really has helped preserve them from the heavy use.

Right now it's this grade 2, 10 gauge because it's the one I used on spring turkeys. The 20 gauge is getting ready to be my favorite as dove season approaches

Parker repro 20 with 26 inch barrels choked .004 and .008. Double triggers of course. It has accounted for quite a few grouse,woodcock, some doves, and a bunch of clay targets. Oh, excuse me, I meant to say pa'tridge.

My great grandfather's DHE. It is in the small photo on the left. It is a true Iowa gun that has hunted on three continents.

In my part of the world when you're talking about a hunting gun you're talking about a grouse/woodcock gun. My favorite carry gun for Ruffed Grouse is a 28-ga. Parker Reproduction DHE 26" IC/M, DT, SG, SPL. When Woodcock are targeted it usually has a set of 28-.410 Chambermates aboard.

Almost every Parker I own is a pleasure to carry in the woods, and I have carried most of them. At the end of the day, when I kick off my boots and build a fire, I don't really care which one it is. I'm neither more or less lucky, and if I come home with an empty pouch, I'd still rather walk all day with one of Charlie's guns than anything else.

I must echo Edgar's sentiments. Carrying a different Parker (or Fox) in the uplands or in the marsh just adds more enjoyment in my time afield. Variety is the spice of life.
