I like the look of worn colors... So thats a plus for me! I guess I'll have to get the stock refinished.

My question is if either of these have ANY cast? As a lefty I want at least neutral-and the O/U does list as having some cast-off.
Also-the Dickinson is a boxlock, not the S&W trigger-plate action, correct?
Local shop has a 28" single trigger S&W that I've considered, but really would rather hold out for a 28 DT. Has anyone else run across the 28 in ST? I thought those were exclusively on the 26. Makes me wonder if someone switched barrels-and if that would even be possible on these.

The Dickinsons are the EXACT same design as the S&W.

Mine all have zero cast...I am a lefty as well...... S&W and Dickinson are trigger plate actions, both the same, factory made no changes other than cosmetic....

Confusion about boxlock vs. triggerplate is I think partly due to the maker referring to them as boxlock guns. I was surprised to see this on the box. Probably just meaning to distinguish them from sidelocks without confusing people who don't know how a triggerplate action differs. The Cabelas Gun Library guys I talked to at the Rogers store called them boxlocks -- which didn't surprise me after seeing the box marking. But I was surprised that they were entirely unfamiliar with the triggerplate action in general.

Do those with choke tubes have any swelling at the muzzle to accommodate the tubes, or are they straight walled?

I had Mark Beasland pull the action on my field test gun the other day. Looks pretty nice on the inside, nothing rough or anything like that. However . . . there's not a lot of engagement between sear and hammer, which makes trigger work pretty tricky. I'm returning mine to Cabela's today and I'll check the triggers on the other guns they have in the Library, but my advice to a buyer who's concerned with heavy triggers--and not everyone is, and these are at least crisp although definitely heavy (7# plus)--to stick in snap caps and try them in the store before buying. If you're figuring on having someone lighten the triggers very much, that may not work.
