Faux Whoop

[Don Anderson]

Well it turns out the shop that gave me the great deal on the Parkers probably didn't do me any long term financial favors as they sent me down the classic SxS rabbit hole. I've been shooting the vent rib GHE very well but I decided I "needed" another gun to take some of the burden off. Specifically I wanted a gun with 32" barrels, 2 triggers, extractors, beaver tail forend and English stock with modern dimensions.

Enter Faux Whoop. Bo's redheaded Sterlingworth stepbrother.

Serial number 112075. Faux Whoop has 32" barrels that weigh 3lbs-15oz and sport 3" chambers. Both barrels are choked -.037. The total weight is 8lbs 3oz. The receiver has been re-furbished and the stock replaced. The LOP is 14 3/4 to the front trigger, DOH is 1 7/8" and it has the just the right amount of cast off to fit me perfectly. Top lever is left of center, but the lockup is rock solid and on face with zero wiggle.

Faux will be headed over to Ellijay next week for Bill Schwarz to insure a clean bill of health and then I plan for this one to become a workhorse clays gun.
