Savage Fox B 410

I have that gun in a Stevens 5100. It seems to shoot right where you point it; my problem is I don't point it very well .

My father’s late friend owned a Stevens 311 .410. My father and I, Al and his son all hunted together. I watched him kill many pheasant and quail with it over the years. My favorite was a rooster who surprised us during lunch. I watched Al shoot it, Stevens in one hand, sandwich in the other. He even sold us a GSP pup from a litter and it was special to see our dog and his mother hunt together. When Al passed, his widow gave that Stevens to my dad. My dad still hunts with it and in October, I had the pleasure of shooting a wild Georgia quail with it on a hunt with my dad and my son.

Presently, I am cleaning up a lovely little Springfield double .410 for a contractor friend who was given the gun. It was a pile of rust when I started on it, with three major cracks in the stock and forend. Today I will shoot glue in the cracks, sand the residue, and oil the wood. I have finished the metal and fixed a balky sear and discovered perfect shiny bores. The problem is that he said this and a Winchester 1894 with 26" hex barrel are not for sale. The 1894 was also a rustbucket. I am hoping he has a change of heart and sells me one of them. Stay tuned.

There was a contest to pick the ugliest double gun ever; I believe it was a tie between the Winchester 24 and the Stevens/Savage/whatever .410 . But hey; even a poor man needs a .410, huh?

even stevens 410 s aint cheap no more....like the stevens shown.....i have a soft spot for old stevens guns....charlie

I sold my last Stevens .410 for about $1000. The Springfield I am cleaning up now is one of the Stevens .410s that has exposed breech balls, a nice touch.

A friend had one of those; makes for a better looking gun for sure!

I paid $950 for the "as new" 1965 Fox Model B .410 at the Southern, and thought that was a good price. Until I could not hit targets with it, so off it went for the same price.

For a lot of us, it’s the memories attached to the Stevens, usually hunting with family and friends, rather than the gun itself. However, as I mention above, my father’s 311 has taken many birds over the years. She may not be the prettiest gun in the field, but she sure is a cherished one.
