Well sometimes a blind Stoat finds an acorn.
Just picked up this really nice 20 Sterly w/30" barrels. Condition is amazing with loads of case, slight handling marks on wood and it probably has'nt been fired more than 100 rounds. Great dimensions, 14 1/4 lop, .616/.618 bores with .021/024. constriction. Chambers are 2 3/4" but not marked on barrels. Took her on a spin around the clays course yesterday and was tickled with her performance. Great triggers (really the key factor for me to shoot a gun well). Pulls are 4.25 lbs. on both triggers. I would rate the gun overall an 85%.
Now I know pictures are always welcome, and I've uploaded them to Photobucket, and damn if I can figure out how to get them here. Maybe someone could lend a hand.
If anyone is interested there are pictures on the PGCA site under General discussions about other fine doubles until I can get them here.

Sounds like a sweet sweet gun. Those 30" small bore barrels on a Fox are what dreams are made of.

Once you have your pictures loaded to Photobucket - it should be easy to post them here. Steps are as follows:
1) Open 2 web browser screens - on one screen logged into the forum here - on the other screen log into your Photobucket account
2) Within your Photobucket library - click on the image you would like to have here
3) The image should open in a new window - to the right side of the image there is something that says "Share Links" with 4 little boxes underneath.
4) You want the box that says IMG - within the IMG box - right click on the link until it says "copied"
5) Then switch to the forum and post the link within your message (where you want the picture to appear)
6) Each picture in your library will have a unique IMG address - you can post multiple IMG addresses within your same post and then multiple pictures will appear
The pasted link will usually start with [URL=
http://s117.photobucket.com/user - and then has a specific address that corresponds to your account and the specific picture within your album. Jere's my dog Pepper 2 winters ago - he wasn't sure what to think of trying to find birds in the snow (we don't get snow in North Carolina very often).

I've done all that and got as far as the 4 boxes to the right, the lower box says IMG, but won't respond to my mouse click. When you run the cursor over it , it should change or light up for lack of a better term. Nothing.

Can you highlight the link inside the box and copy it? Worst case scenario write down the exact link on paper (including the brackets) and then type it in here.

Yes, you copy and paste the code, and then the picture shows up after yuo submit. Or, you can check it out by hitting the preview box.

I'd have a better chance of finding a 32" straight grip 20 XE for $5K before that would happen.
