I prefer a Parker repro for about the same money as I think it's a better made gun, both asthetically and execution wise (from a manufacturing quality perspective).
Well, no argument about the preference, but you just can't get a Repro in 28 ga with 30" barrels, and if you could the asking price would be twice what the RBL sells for. I have a Repro 28 with DT/splinter/straight grip/28" barrels and I will probably shoot my 30" RBL more than the Repro. I have had my eye out for years for a 20 ga Repro with DT/splinter/straight grip/28" barrels and have not seen one that comes close to the $2860 (PIF) I spent on my RBL 20 in that configuration with 3X wood. So, my preference for the Repro will continue to be somewhat hypothetical.
