Could it be simple name recognition.While growing up in a "blue collar community", the word Fox was always followed by Sterlingworth. If your neighbor, uncle, father ect... had a Fox gun, chances were it was a Sterlingworth. I'll bet your average hunter doesn't even know Fox made other grades. If given an option on a gun show table the non SxS fanatics may just go with what there familiar with.
Just thinking out loud, Dave
