New Fox in the henhouse
 

I know... it's not a Parker but it's a smallbore Fox Sterlingworth, 20, w/30" barrels choked f/f and is a real delight to shoot. Been looking for a while for one configured like this and this one has tons of condition. I bet not more than 100 rnds. have gone through this gun judging by the wear on the standing breech face. Sometimes you just get lucky.

Congratulations Daryl.

The SPE-Grade Skeet & Upland Game Gun and now this!! Not to mention your trophy winning B-Grade Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox. You are getting pretty deeply into Ansley's corner!! Welcome!!

Great gun you have there Daryl. Let us know how it shoots

got a real sweet heart there...charlie

Let's not forget my BE, the early A grade, and the run of the mill Sterly 12, and last but not least a 16 Sterly Deluxe.

Took her for a spin around the clays course yesterday with our own Chuck Bishop and shot her pretty well. Finished off the day with a wonderful steak dinner. Life is good.

Very nice Daryl, I am happy for you.

Frank

Nice one Daryl

Thanks for your input/help on this one Frank.:bowdown:

Very nice Daryl! Congrats my friend....

Daryl, welcome to Team Stoat, er, uh, I mean Team Fox!!!! :shock: :rotf: You'll look good in a blue hat.

We need a smallbore Fox class at your shoot. It don't matter red or blue, I'd look right smart in either.:)

Naa, the blue would clash with your new jacket.

I've never been known as a fashion statement.:shock:

Very, very nice Daryl.

What are you going to do with another long barreled 20 ga? So with that said, i will take if off your hands! What a nice looking gun, even for a Fox! :) Have you shot it at paper yet to see how she prints? scott

No Scott I have'nt had the chance to put it on paper yet but she's tight at .021/.024, shoots flat and was crushing targets at 40yds. with a 3/4oz. load. The chokes are 4 1/2" long and the chambers are 2 3/4". Fox, like Parker, knew how to bore their guns when it came to tight patterns and long range performance.

Daryl, great gun, enjoy.

Every time I meet up with Daryl, he says "Look what I just got.":bowdown:

Don't you hate that:):corn::rotf::shock:

my 30 in. NID FE grade 20 ga has .025 in both barrels and it prints 83% with RST 3/4 oz 7 1/2's, i would think yours would be the same or better

Just think about that for a second Scott, 83% with a 3/4oz. load. That's the definition of an efficient load to the nth degree. Do you know how long your chokes are?

I do, they are 4 1/8 inches long. i have a pic of that pattern some where that i can post if i can find it. My own 7/8 ths oz load only print 73 % i will have to try a homemade 3/4 oz to see what that does. I love to shoot test patterns. I shoot lots of them too. scott
update found pic of pattern, i was wrong it shot 89 %
