Fox Collectors

Thank you. Had assistance from my double gun friendly host. An approaching pair fell with two shots (cyl./mod.) using Bismuth #5 for the only Fox solo double on the morning. Lab enjoyed eight retrieves on the day.

Returned to the stick pond with vintage 12 gauge A Grade

Good report. Especially like the last photograph. Old dogs are special and some of their later hunts are as memorable as some of their early retrieves.

Thank you for nice comment. Should have taken better images to better show the black duck with the mallards.

Already looking forward to the upcoming season. Zachery, Your suggestion may prompt a search for ano...

Was shooting better than usual with a new acquisition yet felt this vintage Fox was a bit short in terms of length of pull. A visit to the gun-fitter and our trip to the five stand range quickly demonstrated that an extra inch or so in length was ideal. After a brief separation while in the shop, th...

If you have a moment please post a photograph or two of your A Grade.

Sheldrake,

Nice to see another A Grade getting game to close out a season. Wondering what shells you were using?

Congratulations on your first Fox.

Have the gun checked by a competent gunsmith if you have concerns about this vintage SW then experiment with lead loads on trap, clays or five stand and see how the loads feel and function from 1 oz to 1 1/4 oz.
