Susjwp: I've been doing that off and on for the last year and I'm really enjoying it. My modern O/U SKB target gun just sits in it case lately.

I'm thinking this Parker will be used more for upland work (pheasants?) but we'll see how it fits me first. Since I'm not likely to be feeding it readily-available ammunition (it reportedly has short chambers) that will tend to limit its use for clays.

It's all a voyage of discovery for me with these "eared" guns. I find them strangely alluring and way more useful than I would have expected them to be.

This 1901 Ithaca digests moden target loads with no issues (because it has thick & heavy 32-inch tubes and weighs almost 10lbs). Up on the hill at Silver Creek yesterday.
