At one time it was the 30" Sterly. Now the choice is has been made more difficult since a 32" Sterly has found it's way into my safe. I received it just before this dempanic hit MD and just last week I had a chance to try her out on some clays. I truly could'nt pick one over the other but I'll have to admit those 32" tubes are sweet.

Tried to download picture but could'nt figure out how to resize.

Yes Geoffroy Gournet engraved the Upgrade with my Field Bred Springer on the bottom.
He is awesome.

In a huge error on my part, I sold Brian that wood. Bought it from one of the old time editors of Shooting Sportsman and couldn't come up with a need and sold it to Brian. I had another one (bought two blanks from the editor) and sold it to another Fox member. Here is that blank. I should probably try to buy it back as I don't believe it has been used yet. :)

Are you speaking about the one I bought from you a couple of years ago at Hausemans?

Yep. One in the same. That's a great blank. I bought both of those blanks several years ago from Clair Kofoed.
