Re: Case Colors on the Fox Guns

Dewey Vicknair (Vicknair Restoration) completely restored an A grade for me and the color case hardening is amazing as is the rest of the Fox.
It is not my most expensive shotgun, but I enjoy it as much as any that I own.

Re: Pheasant hunting shot size recommendation

Since I'll not be hunting over dogs and I don't like to carry two different shells, I order the #6s in the RST Paper.
Thanks to everyone for their advise.

Re: trigger pull

Dewey Vicknair of Vichnair Restoration, who did the original restoration work of my Fox, saw this forum post and called me. Dewey recommended sending the Fox back to him and he would adjust the triggers a no charge. Dewey's restoration work is superior to anyones I've ever seen and, as per the phone...

Re: trigger pull

Twice Barrel,
I looked in a British gun fitting book I have and it said the trigger pull should be 3# on the front trigger and 3-1/2# on the back one for a target gun.
It suggested a little heavier for a hunting gun.

generic SxS barrel shortening question?

I don't think I would ever consider doing this to one of my Fox Shotguns, but I'm considering shortening the barrels from 28" to 23" on an inexpensive Russia SxS for my Cowboy Action Shooting.
Would this necessarily change the Point of Impact ?
