Markethunter, your friend Jeff M. and I shot my eight gauge Parker at skeet a couple of months ago and found it to be quite the "skeet gun". To be honest, we shot it with 12 gauge inserts, but it was still a bit of a hoot. I have plans to shoot an eight at geese this season on the "shore" and take some pictures. I haven't decided which gun I will shoot, but I'm leaning toward an Alexander McComas Baltimore gun.
