The Parker Repros were some of the best guns for the money produced. The attention to detail on making them was superb.
I owned several at one time. 12, 20'S and 28 gauges.
The 28's were by far the best of them all.
Unfortunally when they were being produced back in the late 70's and 80's short barrels were the rage.
I wounce saw a 12 bore that had a 30" set of barrels that had been specially made for it. If they had made a run of 30" barreled 28 gauges that would have been the cat's meow!
I would say the 3k range is right on. They are not making them anymore and finding a nice example of one is getting harder.
