Fox HE on GB
 
I wonder who won the Fox HE on Gunbroker a few minutes ago for $9575 + premium?

I went to the shop in NH to examine the gun yesterday morning. That thing had .048" choke in one barrel and .049" in the other. I've never seen tighter chokes in an American SXS.

Most Super Foxes run .050. Choke. The prices have hit dot com bubble territory.

The high bidder was the same guy who came in second on the bobbed barrel ones little while ago that ended over 14K

+ premium? You mean shipping?

Unreal. Face it, Super Fox guns are the hottest ticket in town. Their popularity rising to the #3 spot behind cauliflower rice and Mama June!

I'll be toting one at Addieville next Saturday. I would advise you Parker boys to bring your respirators, that is if you have an aversion to inhaling diesel smoke!

BTW, while most of you are coloring eggs this fine Easter morn,, I'm draining my Clenzoil bottles and re-filling with salt water! :whistle: :crying:

See you in Rhody........ :corn:

I wasn't aware that GB had no buyers premium.... but I should have known because I've bought a few on GB.

Stevie, you don't need to do that - just take any of your 95% condition Foxes and leave them exposed to the fine Swampscot salt air for 30+ years... it requires much less effort.

This Super-Fox is in much better condition than the first D.M. Lefever I ever handled. The Lefever had been sitting in the corner of a chicken house at Fishers Mill, Oregon, southeast of Portland, for about forty years!!

What was the rust like, Dean. Did it seem to be badly pitted metal or more surface rust that might clean up OK? The wood looked pretty good in the pictures. The ad said chokes were MOD and Full, I guessed they missed on that a bit!

I did an appraisal for a local fellow 2 months ago who bought an HE with 90% case color,98% barrel blue,and 32" barrels for $4000.He was worried that he paid too much for it.I had to tell him the truth about his gun,but it hurt.He does not want to sell it and plans to hunt with it. The sad thing is that he had it bought for $2000 and the seller upped the price on him. There are still some surprises out there.
