Fox guns.

[Mark Kircher]

I shoot my fox once a year just to remind me why I shoot my Parkers every other time....

I think the composite barrel A.H. Fox guns were cheaply finished, they look as plain as fluid steel and their 10 bores are plagued with extremely tight chambers forcing me to use 12 ga shells in them.

I just got rid of a Fox Sterly 20. It was a miserable cuss to shoot. Oh, it hit what I pointed it at but kicked the living crap out of me. Half way through a round of 5-stand and I was ready to quit. On top of that the chambers were so tight that once loaded it was a bugger to get unloaded. I am delighted it is gone.

I've had a bunch of both. I mostly have Foxes for the most part now. I think Parkers are generally heavier for respective gauges. I think for Grouse hunting and climbing the mountains of Va/WV and Pa weight matters. I've had two different Foxes in 16 gauge that came in under 6 lbs. One was 5 lbs 10 ounces. I think Parker barrels were struck better.

Ha! You should try negotiating the Vermont terrain where I hunt Tom. I carry and shoot a (several) Parker(s) but use a Fox twenty-gauge Sterly as a climbing staff - I've worn almost two inches off the end of those "Chromox" barrels over the years....

There was a fella I used to spar with (good naturedly) on the 16ga forum, who used to refer to my Foxes as tomato stakes - he was into some weird kinda gun with the barrels turned the wrong way . The last time I heard from him he had two or three Foxes and had another on the way. So don't worry guys; there's hope for some of you yet !

I don't currently own a Fox, but I will say they have a very simple, straight- forward design.

I do not believe the Fox Parker Challange was ever won by Parker.........draw your own conclusion.

They have better shooters?

Would not better shooters choose the best gun?
