Instead of a 20 gauge Parker

bushmaster1313 · May 24, 2017

Thought I could find a used but not abused Parker 20 gauge at a price within my comfort range
Should have known better -- Silly me

So instead I am getting a lesser known, and much less pricey, Baker Batavia Leader 20 gauge:

Would I have liked a Parker?
Sure.

Will I enjoy the Baker?
You can bet on it!

Very nice. I bet that rascal packs quite a punch.

looks like a very nice shotgun. a little advice(i know not worth much), i have several older american double barrels and i shoot-hunt with them, please use lower pressure shell in that fine shotgun to lower the chance of parts breakage as they are very hard to get. i have a fine ithaca thats waiting for parts right now.i have been able to kill all sorts of small game with older paper shells with one oz of #6,s and i also load one oz of #7.5. eastbank.

You didn't hurt yourself much. Keep the loads moderate and enjoy it!
