An early 21 or a Parker that is within about 2000 guns of the last Parkers made? Seems to be an easy choice to me. The Parker wins hands down in my opinion. It has all the attributes of an all around sxs for waterfowl, pheasants, SC and trap as well. If the chokes are too tight send it to Mike Orlen to turn it into a gun you will use for everything. A Parker that late should fit you well enough 'right out of the box'. Enjoy your new Parker and thank your uncle each time you use it.
