Fox guns.

Hi Guys.:)
I think Parker guns are better than Fox guns is that true. I have only seen them
in books but to me a Parker has the edge.
All the best Dave:bigbye:

David

Well, that opens a can of worms, but I own both and shoot both. A good friend of mine who is a Fox guy says that it is hard to find a gunsmith who knows how to fix Foxes--
because they never break down.
That said, I am more of a "parker guy" than "Fox guy"

I couldn't help but notice the long range forecast for "down-under."

Have owned only one fox. I much prefer Parkers. One of the best things Parker did was matching frame size of the gun to gauge.

Fox also scaled frame size to the gauge. Lefever also put the 16 and 20 on the 20 ga or "XX" frame

As my dad use to say: that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

That's true JD. They made chocolate so I could have more vanilla.
