Twenty gauge Fox guns are fantastic, but they're pricey. Not so pricey though as Parkers.

Twenty ga Smiths are cheaper but usually have cracked stocks. A 20ga Ithaca, either NID or Flues is a bargain on today's market.

The Flues model is my favorite. It was built as an upland gun where the NID was engineered to handle heavier loads and seems 'clunkier' to me..

Just some ideas of my own for what they're worth. Great fun making your choices!...Geo
