Two Fox Bird Guns
I thought some might like to see what are, for me, a couple of bird getters. These Foxes, made by CSMC, complement each other for a variety of situations.
The top gun, a 20 gauge DE Special, has 26 inch barrels and weighs in at 6 pounds. It is well balanced between the hands and fast, but not whippy -- a great quail gun. It's choked choked well for grouse and woodcock as well.
The bottom gun is a 16 XE with 29 inch tubes. This gun has proven itself on sharptails and Huns, and has also taken Blue Grouse, Roughed Grouse, Woodcock, Snipe, Pheasants, Dove, and a couple of Snipe (and, of course, wild Bobs) during a stretch when it was my go-to gun. I asked Tony to make the gun to weight under 6 pounds if possible. It weighs in at 5 pounds 11 ounces and once you get it swinging, it doesn't stop with those longer barrels and slightly weight forward balance. It's choked cylinder and tight.
