Maybe one of these days my friend Craig will discover Fox smallbores. Any classic American maker's upland gun will go bang but many serious uplanders would agree that none have the simple but rugged mechanics and sexy looks of the Fox. I'm reminded here of the story about two young sisters told by Jack O'Connor. I paraphrase: one girl was attractive enough, even temperament, thrifty, a good cook and would make a good wife, mother and homemaker. The other had much the same qualities but was a lithe and raving beauty who had young men dreaming, fantasizing, singing outside her window and howling in the night. Their difference in look was only from a touch or two here and something there. And so it is with Fox smallbores.

I’ve owned several Sterlingworth small bores and honestly shot them as well as anything else . I could be swayed by a Sterlingworth or A grade 20 with 32” barrels .
