I bought a Parker VH 28 ga. with 28 in barrels on an 0(20 ga) frame because it appeared like an apparition on a back table at an out of the way local gun show and the price was what I believed to be at least 30% off the going rate. I loved the gun. It weighed right at 6 lbs, and the drops were 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 which were perfect for me. I broke hand thrown clays left and right with it after I could locate some ammo and enlarged the rim recesses. Then, folks, I put it in the safe intending to hunt pheasants with it, but when the time came, I reached for my 16 ga on a 1 frame. Half a pound heavier, but with an extra 3/8 oz of 6 shot, I just felt more secure with it. Same thing, repeat 3 or 4 times over two years, and I realized I was just not confident enough in my shooting to take the baby gun out for the hardy wild pheasant. So, I sold it for what I paid for it and never looked back. At least now when I miss a bird I am not tempted to blame the size of the gun. That was a sweet gun, though.
