Re: CSMC Savage Fox grade A SxS’s

I opted not to get one as I have heard sooo many stories on CSMC's customer service and product support that I will just look for an older well kept original.

Re: CSMC Savage Fox grade A SxS’s

Thanks for that feedback, I appreciate it. I just got off the phone with one of the sales guys that I worked with a couple of years ago when I got my 16 gauge sterlingworth from them. And yes, they are the RBL just not quite as embellished. I have an appointment to go into the actual store/manufactu...

CSMC Savage Fox grade A SxS’s

So I’ve heard many mixed reviews on CSMC but was wondering if anybody has had any experiences or insight on what they’re making with these? Basically are they worth the money? They’re currently 24% off and am entertaining the thought.

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

Thanks for all the thoughtful input and lends me to leave it as it is. Sometimes I need the reminder(s) such as here that the evil of just fine is "perfect".

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

Nice example. If I'm reading it right, that is the lowest serial number Savage marked 16-gauge FOX STERLINGWORTH I've recorded. While I've recorded quite the transition range in 12- and 20-gauges, until seeing this gun I had a nice clean break in the 16-gauges. All the guns I've previously recorded...

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

Lots of great and thoughtful feedback, thanks! I’ll just leave it as it is for now. I need to look into how to modify/reload shells to open up the pattern mostly for the right barrel. I wish I would’ve done my research earlier on and gotten some of those from RST when they were still producing those...

How do you know who to buy from?

Basically curious if there are retail/dealer sources that are as reasonable as possible to trust on the price and quality? I have been at the "gun collecting" loosely speaking for a few decades now. After those few decades of doing I still find that there is much more to learn. I have been...

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

Nice gun! Just my opinions here. I believe these old Foxes whether entry level or Graded have a “spirit” - for want of a better word - that took decades to build via many hunts, hands and adventures; and I resist changing their cosmetics with rebluing and stock refinishing. Likewise I stay with ori...

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

The question regarding the ammo of 2 1/2" vs 2 3/4" what do you say?

Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

I have been a fan of upland hunting for many years and now that I am semiretired going to pursue that more regularly. I have quite a few 16 gauges but my prize possession is a Fox Sterlingworth 16 28” M&F that I acquired a few years ago. Few questions I would like to submit; 1) I have a number o...
