I kind of started with Foxes when I had my custom Sterly 16 built. Still a very pretty gun that I shoot well, and just 6 lbs with 30” barrels. My collecting has now been focused on Parkers, although I also have been trying to fill in representitve examples of each gauge gun from the other “majors” Smith, Ithaca, Fox, Baker and LeFever.
This little sterly feels great, and I think I will like it on flushing birds, quail, snipe etc. i have quite a collection of small bore 24” and 26” guns, as I prefer those for flushing and snap shooting.
I love the compactness and simplicity of the Fox guns, and the durability. You seldom see a fox that has been shot out of its stock.
