New Fox in the henhouse

No Scott I have'nt had the chance to put it on paper yet but she's tight at .021/.024, shoots flat and was crushing targets at 40yds. with a 3/4oz. load. The chokes are 4 1/2" long and the chambers are 2 3/4". Fox, like Parker, knew how to bore their guns when it came to tight patterns and long range performance.

Every time I meet up with Daryl, he says "Look what I just got."

my 30 in. NID FE grade 20 ga has .025 in both barrels and it prints 83% with RST 3/4 oz 7 1/2's, i would think yours would be the same or better

Just think about that for a second Scott, 83% with a 3/4oz. load. That's the definition of an efficient load to the nth degree. Do you know how long your chokes are?

I do, they are 4 1/8 inches long. i have a pic of that pattern some where that i can post if i can find it. My own 7/8 ths oz load only print 73 % i will have to try a homemade 3/4 oz to see what that does. I love to shoot test patterns. I shoot lots of them too. scott
update found pic of pattern, i was wrong it shot 89 %
