Help me out with my new dilemma.
I'm not keeping both- but I have two solid candidates for a new Grouse/Woodcock gun.
Let's assume I shoot both equally well, and they're choked nearly the same, Light IC/Tight Mod
Which one to keep, which one to let go. Also assume cost is not a factor, but long term delight, collectibility, etc etc.
20 Bore Superposed Superlight Centennial (engraved)27" U/O
3" chambers, 6lbs, single trigger, straight stock (and no, it's not part of a set, I just have the 20ga)
20 Bore Parker Repro, SST, 26" Bbl, 2 3/4' chambers, 6lbs 9oz (feels like less in the hand), straight stock
(no trigger or choke issues on this one)
Which one is going to stand up to getting knocked around the woods, stepped on by the dog, dinged into trees on that crosser, and just be fun to shoot?
I'm leaning towards the Parker, because for some reason the feel of a small double is a bit more instinctive to me in tight woods. But it's a fun post. SO let's hear it....
