Good on you and enjoy. 16's are my favorite of all the Foxes.

I enjoy your excitement and enthusiasm, reminds me of when I first started collecting Foxes. The 16 is my go to gun for Pheasants and it really knocks them normally with one shot. Carries like a 20 hits like a 12. The Fox is a true 16 and a great upland game gun.
Best Regards,

That is a nice clean looking gun. The 16's with 28" tubes are the handling of all the doubles for me.
Jeez I shouldn't say that since i would like to afford a couple of more some day.

I "traded away" a wonderful restocked, beavertail, Utica A Grade 28" 16 to my friend Phil Futrell at Mid South a couple of years ago. Does anyone here own this great gun today?
