My late father-in-law always shot a 12ga Remington Model 11, but he liked my doubles and decided he'd like to have one, "a 12ga, and not too expensive". I found him a really nice Fox Model B made in 1960 at a gun show and he loved it. One of his comments: "I like that it's got some weight to it", not something you hear much in double gun circles ! Sadly his health had put him beyond his hunting years but I got to see him bust a few clays with it at the family spring-trap get togethers. After he passed my mother-in-law gave me the gun, but she's on a fixed income and I felt she could use the money more than I needed the gun so I sold it. I'm not much of a 12ga guy but it's the one gun I wish I still had.
