Does anyone own or have any opinions on the Cookson Fowler? I'd love a fowler for all round hunting.
Cheers :wink:

J.D. said:IMHO, the classic English fowler of the mid 18th century would make an excellent, all round hunting gun. The better ones are very light, handle very well, and are a joy to shoot.
God bless
It sounds like you did what I do to virtually every gun I buy no matter who manufactures it.QM James said:I've got one from MVTCo too. I'm not going to pretend it's a finely made custom fowling piece - it's a $600 import.
That said, after refinishing the stock and tuning the lock, I've no complaints. She doesn't weigh ten pounds either, at least a pound lighter, maybe more. Remember too that these have a 51", 14 gauge (.69 caliber) barrel; take off ten inches and go down a gauge or two smaller and you will have a lighter gun!
Would I like a fine custom fowling piece? Sure! Who's buying?
