Was he fair? Was he accurate, generally?

Interesting read but I found it odd he discusses H&R but no discussion of Lefever or Remington doubles.

I wonder which guns he likes? British guns which seem to need to go back after each season for cleaning and adjusting?

Dewey has a fondness for AHFox as he has built two custom guns for my friend, one of them a slug gun. Both built on a Sterlingworth action.

Dewey did all the metal work on my project "Becker inspired" Fox. It is probably the best file work on a receiver I have ever seen.
