I was telling some friends while at the Northern, about a second gen Fox BE that was returning home. I found this gun years ago out in Iowa but sold her to help fund a really high end Fox. I always regretted doing that. Just recently the kind gent asked if I wanted her back because he had moved to another gun focus. Of course I jumped. She has a really nice “honey & smoke” stock and I wanted to show that here. Cell phone pics not the best and taken after unpacking and while hanging on our stand for the hummingbird feeder. (Back lawn is all dried up from the really hot temps and little rain over the past month.) While there a ruby throat hummer checked her out and I’ve decided to name the returning babe: Ruby
12 gauge/32-inch with 1-weight Krupp barrels on the light side, and choked Mod & Full. Only 2-1/4” drop at heel. Not many second gen BE’s were made and very few with 32’s and straight grip. It’s only my opinion, that the second gen B’s looked too much like the later D Grade that was selling for multiples more. Thus the B Grade was pulled from the catalogue after only a few years. Welcome home!
