I assume that’s .685" chokes not bores. I've measured many many Foxes with a good Stan Baker bore mike and the smallest 12-gauge in my spreadsheet was .721" in both barrels.
Thank you Stan. Last edited by Frank Srebro; 08-05-2024 at 08:10 AM.. Reason: Edited for clarity |

Pretty certain Chris meant the muzzles measure .685". That would be choke constrictions in the "forties".

I really like the engraving pattern on the XE. Of all the new engraving on its models, Fox struck it just right on the XE.
Chris, you have quite the arsenal there. ![]()

Sorry, for any confusion. You're right Stan, that's at the muzzle. I should have just left it at full & full.

Righttt....actually I'm not familiar with the correct way of measuring choke. I grabbed this neat gauge off my bench and measured at the muzzle. I usually use my CSMC brass gauge and measure at the muzzle. Close enough for me! Looks like all these numbers on the gauge got me in trouble! My mistake, sorry for all the confusion.
