I own a 2 bbl Parker Repro in 28 and have hunted it hard! It is my favorite shotgun. I have not owned an RBL, but have held one at CSM's HQ. I prefer the Parker for several reasons and do not believe it is in anyway inferior because it was made in Japan on tools similar to what the RBL is now manufactured on.

I wish CSM had produced a "Sterlingworth" version. When asked, Tony Galazan told me it was too complex and expensive to manufacture, his comment "far more costly than the model 21". I can't evaluate his comment from a technical viewpoint, but I wonder why he would dilute his premium SXS product. He is a very astute businessman from a technical and product viewpoint.
