What Fox have you been looking for the longest time??

Post by fox-admin »

I've always wanted a XE 20ga. for 20+ years. A few have been for sale in that period but I haven't pulled the trigger for various reasons. I'm also looking for a nice straight grip HE and Super Fox 31736 a C-HE with ducks engraved on the action. How about you??

Nothing special but I’ve been looking for a nice 20 ga A grade. I’ll be at the Dulles show tomorrow but I don’t have high hopes.

Still looking for a 16 AE. They sure are few and far between but the hunt is half the fun......

Any smallbore with 32" barrels. An XE 12 with 32" barrels. Any Fox with Henry Bartholomew or Nash Buckingham connection. I missed out on three XE 20s a few years ago when Tom Kidd was offering them for $1400 each. One was a two barrel set. I'm giving up on XE 20s.

I said I was looking for an A grade Fox. I walked into the Dulles gun show today and, literally, the second gun inside the door was a 20 ga Fox AE with 2 sets of barrels. Price $3500. It had a stock repair I can live with. The second set of barrels have been cut to just under 25”. I’ll sell the second set of barrels for parts. All in all…a good day.

Looking for a 20ga, full pistol grip with a nicely figured stock. Lately though I've convinced myself that I can't hunt ducks without a Super, so that might come first.

I found it, about 12 years ago. A high, original condition 32" HE grade 20. Looking for the same thing now, with a better price. :oops:

I have had several scarce ones but seem not to be able to hold on to them! Bobby

I have been looking for a 30”, straight stock CE 20 ga. Of course a 32” each would also work.

How about a 20-gauge SPR-Grade Skeet & Upland Game Gun?

I sure would like to own an XE with half pistol grip.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

I've been looking for a clean HE with 32" barrels and 3" chambers. They are more difficult to find than you would think. It seems like a lot of killer guns trade hands at the shooting events and get togethers, unfortunately I have a tough time getting away so I'm stuck shopping the internet.

That's a configuration I have little interest in. I never cared for the "flat-sided guns". I'm probably too narrow-minded.

A 20 gauge with IC/mod chokes would be great. I have a 20 gauge with M/F chokes that is great on wood ducks but not great at all on quail

A D grade is a long term want.
