Lock and load and thanks for your service in "Da Sandbox" Think I read somewhere that Parker tried to build a O/U in the mid-20's but something about "cocking leverage" or another mechanical consideration kept it on the "drawing board" not sure, maybe this is just a rumor-To me, almost every O/U I have handled seemed like a 2 x 4 turned sideways in my hands- but I am not a clays shooter- with one exception- I once handled a Boss 16 ga. O/U- wish I could have shot it afield- ever pick up a shotgun, mount and swing- and get the feeling that "This Is The One?" I could have affored that Boss, even if had been for sale, but what a sweet handling shotgun it was..

RWTF, everyone that has ever had the pleasure or the fortune of handling a Boss or any of the top English makers whether it was a O/U or SxS would agree with you 100%!!!
Trouble is it ruins you because if you didn't buy you'll never have that 'feel of an English game gun' again!!!
