Fox Collectors

Frank, heading to upstate New York for the yearly RGS hunt next weekend with my buddy Steve. Will be using a fine 20ga A grade that I obtained from Kevin. If a bird is unlucky enough to fly into my pattern I will post some pics next week.

Great job Jeff. The first game taken with a new to you gun is always special. That picture is one for your scrap book.

No dove season here in CT, so my first hunt will be the RGS benefit hunt the third week of October. It is held in the Malone, NY area and the grouse and woodcock numbers are usually pretty good. I will be using my old standby grouse gun the first day, a 1903 vintage Parker DH with 26 inch Damascus b...

Jeff that's a beautiful gun. I love the round knob grip, and that is a really nice stick of wood. I have never seen an Infallible Trigger in person, is that the barrel selector on the top tang next to the top lever?

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Be safe over the holidays and looking forward to seeing you all at next years SxS shoots.

Fred, I have found the Excalibur cigars from Hoyo de Monterrey to be a very nice smoke for not big money. If you want to budget a bit more, the Montecristo White series is hard to beat for a mild smoke.

Like Jeff, i would love to own a XE someday, but with retirement on the horizon that probably isn't going to happen. I would like to have a nice 12ga CE though, especially if it had 28 inch barrels and weighed less than 7 pounds.

Jeff, thanks for the continued study on this topic. And the detailed pictures, it sure makes it easier to understand the dynamics of this with good photos. Although i no longer own a SF (sold it back to original owner in a weak moment) I do have several other tight choked guns that I am sure could b...

Great conversation starter guys. Jeff, thanks for the starter post. Frank, looks like you are intent on stirring up the membership. OK, I'll bite. I am not a Fox collector, but an admirer of the Fox gun. I do own several and they all get shot, both at clays and game. My 16 ga Fox A & BE, both 28...

Hi Ron, glad to see you ate making these SxS events a must do on your calendar. I will be there with my buddy Steve. Last year was our first time shooting at the Rock, and we had a great time. Looking forward to seeing you and some of the other Fox guys.

Mike, where Steve and I are staying we don't have access to a fridge, so we will bring paper products (plates, napkins, fighting gear..) and some snacks.
Don

Hi Mike, me and my buddy Steve will be there. If there is anything we can bring besides our appetite, like sides or paper products, just let me know.

Thanks

Ron, it was great to meet and chat with you. I am always happy to let folks shoot my guns, just trying to hook a few more on the Fox gun. As for your shooting on the Letterman, at least you broke one. I went 0 for 20 . And that was great shooting with your Smith on the Bo Woop. Hope to see you again...

Congrats Frank, that was a great composition. Did Nitro have any role in the bagging of that pheasant?

Frank, that is a really well-done restoration/custom job. I love the case colors and the figure in the stock. The cherry on top for me is the skeleton grip cap, very classy.
