Nice Super Frank.
Shoot what the gun was patterned with when it was made. .

Dean, I may have confused you and others by using "Super-Fox" in the title. This is not a Super-Fox but it's similar in some respects to a lightweight Super.
The gun pictured is an A Grade with heavy barrels, 2-7/8" chambers for 3-inch shells and it weighs a tad over 8 pounds. In comparison the typical Super-Fox is a basic H Grade and most but not all were built on a heavier frame, and they'll generally range between 8-5/8 to 9-1/2 pounds with their heavier 0-weight/overbored barrels. The lightest Super I ever owned was made at 8-1/4 pounds on the regular 12-gauge frame, 3-inch chambers and with 32-inch 1-weight barrels (all similar to this A Grade). That Super had a factory monte carlo stock with cheekpiece and full pistol grip, all of which would have about accounted for its 4 ounce increased weight as compared to this straight-grip A grade. Net, the pictured gun is a Fox A Grade made to reach out and still be dynamic. |
