Stan I agree Fox case colors are like fine water colors but my favorite are the colors found in Remington 1894's. I was looking at a EE last week which had great engraving and great color. It did have the common stock split which does not bother me at all because the repair is highly predictable and seems to last a lifetime. I liked it so much I am thinking about going back with a few grand in my pocket to see if we can come to a better price and bring it home with me.
Had it been a straight grip I would have been forced to buy it on the first visit. But my rule of thumb now is to buy no guns much over two grand at first examination. Saves a lot of impulse buying. I might miss a few guns that sell before I get back to them but I just can't buy them all it seems. Such a sad state of affairs.
