EDM, I'll never buy this gun, only interested in learning what I can. Yes I do have 5 Ithaca field grade guns that are fun to shoot and never paid over $400. I have considered going more for quality than quantity, but don't really care if orig. or redone as long as the gun looks and works well. I shoot and hunt with all of my guns or I don't want them. The Parker does look nice and thats why I was interested in learning more about the Parker. After buying the Ithaca book by Snyder I really like the looks of some of the higher grade Ithaca's. Yes, I can afford it but don't plan on spending more for any gun than I think it is worth to me, just as I would not want to spend more on a car or bird dog than I thought was resonable. Where would you suggest one go for better advice?
