I've not fired the big Fox as of yet. It had a modern recoil pad on it but thankfully the stock hadn't been cut down. Picked up a repro buttplate for it that needs fitted before I do any serious shooting. Fits me a lot better at buttplate length, it's a little low in the stock so being that much further forward on the comb gives me a bit better view of the end of the tubes.
Picked up a case and a half of Kent TM 3 inch shells loaded with 1 1/2 of #1 shot. Will put a couple on paper and see how it throws the big stuff once the buttplate is in place.
My Parker magnum 10 gauge doesn't throw BB worth a damn nor the 2 1/4 ounce loadings of #2 either. But you feed it 2 ounces of #2 and it will hold them together a long way out.
