Im with Edgar on this. I had a Chris Dawe build me a upgraded Fox 20 gauge. I have used it almost exclusively since last year and will continue to shoot it a lot more this year.
When I first got it back I was asked numerous times if I was going to shoot it.
My response was always the same. Thats what it was made for.
Yup a few dents and scratches in the wood but I love shooting it and when my granddaughter gets it she will know PaPa loved it and shot it.
That said if it was a rare one of a kind gun I would have second thoughts. Reproductions don't fall into this category.
I have had some nice guns I was reluctant to shoot very much. In most these cases they are enjoyed for awhile and then down the road they go.
If the reproduction fits you and is reasonably priced, buy it, shoot it, and don't look back.
