I did purchase the gun this afternoon, and will go ahead and order some of the gamebore light 2 1/2" loads. After a couple hundred rounds I should have a better sense of the gun, and how much, if any barrel work to pursue. After a number of years shooting O/U's and modern SxS guns, this is a new venture for me. I am grateful for the good responses and warm welcome I received here in my orientation to this old Fox.
