My little Parker 28 is going on 66 years for me. I haven't done any serious bird hunting for years, but the Parker 28 would be my go to gun because of its tight chokes and light weight.

My list would have to include the Senator Hawes Becker/DE twenty researcher mentioned. Probably as much chance as Craig’s elusive HE. Free to wish….

I have a young friend that occasionally shows signs of thinking beyond his years. He commented that if you have your health everything else is just vanity.
