Comment on This quail hunting video kind of scares me… by Matt

Agreed. Dangerous. It’s the same with flushers too. I never understood when people have the opportunity (means) to steady a dog and pass it up. They usually say that “they want to dog to mark and quickly retrieve the bird so thye don’t loose it” or something like that. From my point of view, once you hunt with a steady dog (pointer or flusher) you will enjoy the hunting more.

Would love to have a copy of that someday, who knew it would be become such a storied and beloved gun back then 50 years prior to Ivo Fabbri or 90 years prior to them being cloned entirely

My little Boss is a magic wand for me, but still tip my hat to SxS’s for hunting

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Gregg, hard to argues with that assessment when you put it that way. I don’t like barrel re-blacking either

That’s why the best British guns are the ones that were made for Americans, shipped over here, and never messed with.

I think reblack causes more harm than good. Every time they reblack the bbls, the file a little of the metal away. This just thins them out.

Thanks for the response.

To be be fair, there really is no such thing as an English gun, if properly cared for in the English tradition, that hasn’t been refinished in some way. Barrels get rebrowned reblacked many times over its life, case colors re-laquered and the stock rubbed out as well. The killer for me is the cut barrels on this piece. Only in America do we care so much about original finish, which in a way is an oxymoron, if its been hunted with a lot, like its meant to be. It will have wear that should be looked after to protect it from the elements
