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...

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.

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.
