Just Right - Sterly 20b Straight Grip

Post by Silvers »

I hunted with a friend yesterday in the NE PA mountains, we raised three grouse, shot at two and my Sterly 20b did the trick on this one. She's an early Fox (1913) with 28" tubes, opened to 2-3/4" and choked Mod and I-Mod, just about right for my bird hunting. I don't know who did the straight grip/long trigger guard tang restock and conversion but she sure has the classic Fox look. 2-1/4" drop and weight 6-1. She's been a lucky gun for me with 24 grouse and many pheasants to her credit, just about all of them in walk-up hunting.

Just to show what can be done without getting into an over the top Fox Sterly smallbore upgrade. :)

Congratulations on the bird, and that is a very pretty stock on your Sterly.
