Re: What's a solid model for a grouse gun?
Since its your first sxs, my advice fwiw is to not get discouraged if you dont hit everything you shoot at from the start. Ha! If I hit everything I shot at, I'd start to get a little suspicious! :) And as long as everything is solid and functional, character marks don't bother me. I've have the sa...

Re: What's a solid model for a grouse gun?
Not actually from minnesota. I'm in maryland. That show in PA next week sounds awesome, but unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. Wish I'd know about it sooner so I could have arranged to get there!

Re: What's a solid model for a grouse gun?
Oh, forgot to add that since this is my first SxS, I'd like to keep under the $800 range, if at all possible and upgrade once I'm hooked.

Re: What's a solid model for a grouse gun?
Thanks for all the replies! A restocked gun, to modern dimensions, in a 16-gauge would be perfect. Need open chokes. Full chokes for grouse hunting are a nightmare. Aside from shows, where is a good place to start a search. Gun brokers.com seems like it's tough to know what you're actually getting.

What's a solid model for a grouse gun?
I spend a week or so every October chasing grouse in the Chippewa National Forest in northern Minnesota, and have done so with a Browning Citori O/U for the past 25+ years. As I've grown to appreciate the number of flushes more than the number of birds in the bag (although I still manage my fair sha...

I can't be sure, but I too thought the receiver looked blued. Haven't actually seen the gun in person to verify.

Re: What can you tell me about this gun?
Here's the only image I have of the gun, and it's not a great one.

What can you tell me about this gun?
Could anyone give me a rough idea of a very good condition (but certainly no safe queen) Fox Savage 16 ga Sterlingworth side x side with 28" barrels? Serial number is 376xxx. I know it will be difficult to give to much info about value without a pics.
