Noticed no Foxes?

I have noticed there are little or no 20ga Fox Sterlingworths on Guns International and Guns America? Have they all been bought up?

Comment please

I have a Savage Fox 20ga 1933 vintage and apparently previous owner had the choke changed to cylinder and not quite IC. I was thinking about getting screw in chokes put in. It has a 28" barrel. Any comments.

2 1/2 vs 2 3/4 shell?

I have a Utica Savage Fox Sterlingworth that everyone that measures the chambers says it is 2 3/4 it was shipped in 1936 according to the letter. I have always shot 2 3/4 RST shells. When I pattern the gun with those shells I get a fairly tight pattern. I did try a couple of 1200fps shells and got a...

Video?

Has anyone done a video on removing stock, cleaning, and reassemble of Fox Sterlingworth. I saw the
stock removing instructions, but was just wondering if there is a video.

Southern SXS Classic this week

Plan on going up Saturday. Wanted to buy some RST shells but they will not be there. Had to order, but shipping is not too bad for me.
Should be great weather for the trip.

Winchester AA Low recoil low noise shells?

Anyone used these in their Fox? If so what results? Are they better or worse than RST'S?

Re: Load information?

I am not interested in shooting high powered shells probably would go no higher than 1200psi on the box.

Load information?

I have a 20ga Fox Sterlingworth Utica in excellent condition shipped in 1936 with a 1933 serial number. Apparently the barrels were bored out Cyl and IC. The letter says M and F. I had the chambers measured and they are 2 3/4. Can I shoot higher power shells in this gun than the RST I have been shoo...

Re: SXS Fall Classic Georgetown, S.C.

Went to the Fall Classic early Friday. Was hoping RST or B&P would be there so I could get a case of 20ga shells, but no one was there selling shells that I was in the market for. If you are looking to shoot and some competition it is worth going to, but they only had one tent with vendors so it...
