Default 32" 20 ga. Fox Sterlingworth

For all of you addicted to those long- legged smallbore beauties here is one I've been chasing for a while. She is the bottom gun in the photo shown in comparison to a 30" 20 less than 2k in the serial number range. Choked .031/.034. For a twenty that's scary full and full. We went out yesterday on our first date and hope to take her out again this week weather permitting.

Very nice Daryl. A 32" small bore Fox is a real treasure as they rarely come to market but you already know that. Congrats to you, you're a lucky man to come across such a gun.

A tad short and low. A Pachmayer with a white line spacer will be swell for your LOP. Cut the comb and add a nice piece of hemlock to raise it up and you will be good to go!!

The gun is now at Briley's having an adjustable comb installed and to take care of the lop, a Morgan adjustable and thinwalls for those close targets. She'll be a target crushing machine when she returns.

Count me in I have several contenders so we will see which I shoot the best, A Fox AE 30 F/F or the Parkers GH Damascus 30 incher or the BHE with 32 inches of tightly choked barrels.
Are you going to consider the 16 as a small bore?
