What a wonderful 16. I vacillate between CE a XE engraving as my Fox favorite. After looking this one over, I’d say the XE.

What will you use it for—Texas wild Bobs, I hope.

My guess is that beautiful Fox is going to get to share a short boat ride with Nellie and get a chance to harvest a duck or 2 this fall.

The sweet spot for American doubles for me are the Fox XE's and Parker BH's prior to WW!.

Congrats on another fine small bore. I hope you bring it to Georgia in January.
I have some 3/4 oz RST 16's along, perfect for Quail and an XE 16
