Default Fox CE 16 with new walnut!

I know all love the 0 frame Parkers, especially in 16 gauge. I do also but tend toward Fox and Lefever in small bore guns. This is a Fox CE 16 gauge which Daniel Aubihl of Sycamore Ohio restocked for me using 100+ year old circassian walnut. The result is not only beauty but a magic pheasant killing wand worthy of Merlin himself!

Also in the photos is my big Radar who is 13 years old and still hunting and little Aspen, a spicy blond bitch at a year and a half. Aspen in one of Stu West's pointing labs.

Since I took the trouble to interrupt my Radar and Aspen's hunt to play with my pocket miracle (smart phone for you smart aXXes) I might as well share with with you!

Nice Mark. Please use your photo expertise to show some close-ups of your CE. Pup is looking good as is Radar. God bless him- still going strong at 13.

Eric,

Funny you should ask. That is the preserve near north of me which I invited you to. Did you notice the rows of native switchgrass where roosters try to hide from my dogs? Hey, did I mention that there in no extra charge for shooting extra birds. On our last two hunts I paid for a total of 10 birds and bagged 16.

Mark

16 ga Foxes are wonderful, I have 3, 2 SW's and an A grade. They are as nice to carry as my 2 O frame 16 Parkers My male setter Shiner, will be 13 next week, and I killed 2 pheasants over him yesterday. He has a good motor in him for 13, but was pretty stiff this morning, but rarin' to go again. Although I am a setter lover, you just cant beat a good Lab on pheasants.
A C grade 16 or 20 Fox would be on my bucket list.
How do you transfer pics from your phone to the forum--have been taking pictures with my new android phone cause my pocket camera went thru the washing machine--camera ruined, but the SD card with 800 photos still good.
And yes, more close ups of the Fox.
