Of course, there will be a difference in feel and balance between the two as the weight will be different. However, the fit and design will be the same. I'll be used to the grip and trigger placement and mounting characteristics. The most important thing will be the fancy wood (I am a wood dealer

) It will have a full Winchester feather out of colorful Oregon seed English. This makes all the difference in accuracy. Buff will simply expire at the sight of it, I am sure.

As for chukar, they must DIE! I have a perfect hunting place for them. There is a rimrock outcropping at the end of a looonnng plateau. It is about 20' high and one can walk the base of it over a high canyon. It bends away from you gradually for about 1/2 mile. In the late afternoon when they are around before roosting time, you blast away then pick up your birds. They flush down but then come back up around 75 yards away and out of sight. The finding of the dead birds takes a bit as the backs caouflage to the color of the volcanic rock, and the breasts camouflage to the color of the Fall cheat grass. But then as you continue around the bluff, you are again into the birds and this continues for the entire 1/2 mile of limit of birds...and...no verticle walking. Then it is time to drive to the bottom of the canyon for ducks, geese, fishing, and the natural hot pools at the end of the day. Life is hard!
