Today I would spend my $3000 to $4000 on a 32" Parker, AH Fox, or LC Smith.
Just my opinion,
Mark
I agree Mark, and I tend to put my money where my mouth is.
I recently got a Fox BE with #2 32" barrels, and Briley S1 tubes, that had been re-stocked with beautiful walnut for far, far below $3500. It remains to be seen if I will ever shoot it as well as I do the 30" BSS, tho'. I'm hopeful, as the first round out with it on the 5-stand went 22. But, that's a long way from being there. I'm gonna give it a fair try, and plan to have it at the Southern in April to wring it out.
I have never found a vintage double that is as competition friendly as a BSS, tho' I've never used a 21. It may well be, but look at the difference in cost.
