I own and shoot both. I can't tell a wit of difference between either. I had a top lever spring break on a Wm. Ford and my "stuck in the backwaters" smith made a spring for it. He could have done the same thing for a Fox or a Parker. A good smith can build any non-metal part you need.

The trick is finding a servicable gun with the right stock dimensions, Brit, Spanish, American or what have you. The savings will be in not having to re-stock the gun. That could be as much as the original cost of the gun.

I've never met a bird dog I didn't like.
