New SxS's at the 3/4 point of 2024??

I got off to a strong start with a BH Parker and a Fox XE this Spring. Bought a very nice condition Fox AE 12ga 30" with #1 weight barrels and .042 chokes 7lbs 15oz this summer. Sold 7 at Josh's sale last month. How about you?

Zero buys. Sold several. Always looking for guns in my sweet spot, they just don’t come along often.

Small bore long barrels. Like to have a grade higher than 3 as I have a few of those.

Craig, my eyes were drawn to the straight stock Fox just above the XE. Just curious what grade and gauge it was? I would have been all over that!

Went to the G&D preview about the only thing I could do with the four I liked was LOOK

So nothing bought but I’m still culling reducing whatever one cares to call it !

Chris: I am fortunate to own two straight grip XE's both 12ga 30".

Reggie it seems as though I recall you having a high grade small bore that has some Southern IN roots unless it has left your possession. I guess 30" is not long enough for you long barrel aficionados

Been sort of a quiet year for me although I have been living vicariously through my friends and their acquisitions, seems as though most of them are doing quite well at finding some new toys.

Criag it has been sort of quiet, not totally dead but sort of quiet compared to previous years.
