Savage Fox B 410

[B. Dudley]

generally patterning is done with mounting the gun quickly and taking a number of shots that way since this is how shotguns are shot, not aimed like a rifle.

However, for the sake of your test, "aiming" it and finding it to shoot that low at such a close distance does sure indicate that the issue is more with the gun's barrels, boring or choking instead of the stock dimensions on the gun. The point of aim is way off by the sounds of it.

The issue may just be what it is and is not able to easily be fixed. I would speak to skeets gun shop, mike oren or briley about what the options are for re-boring to try and correct.

I bought a "new" Fox Model B .410 at the Southern this past spring. Don't know why other than I just wanted one. Made in 1965 with double triggers. The first day I shot it this fall I hit every thrown bird off a stationary thrower with the left barrel. I never hit a single bird with the right barrel in ten tries. It did not shoot where pointed on the right barrel was my unscientific conclusion. Anyway, that made it useless to me on doves. I sold it to a friend a month later for what I had in it.

It certainly was not a Parker, Fox, Ithaca, L.C. Smith, etc.
