The 20ga Sterlingworth is the best buy in vintage American small bore SXS's in my opinion. If you keep your nose to the ground high condition examples with ejectors are available for under 2K and most weight under 6 lbs. A similar condition VHE would set you back $4K or more.

I find that very hard to believe - unless a very seriously uninformed seller finds himself in dire need of cash.

Sorry Craig, we disagree on this issue.

Be very, very quiet my friend about the smallbore Foxes. They are the best handling smallbores I have ever shot and their prices have'nt caught up with Parkers........yet!
