I just got rid of a Fox Sterly 20. It was a miserable cuss to shoot. Oh, it hit what I pointed it at but kicked the living crap out of me. Half way through a round of 5-stand and I was ready to quit. On top of that the chambers were so tight that once loaded it was a bugger to get unloaded. I am delighted it is gone.

I've had a bunch of both. I mostly have Foxes for the most part now. I think Parkers are generally heavier for respective gauges. I think for Grouse hunting and climbing the mountains of Va/WV and Pa weight matters. I've had two different Foxes in 16 gauge that came in under 6 lbs. One was 5 lbs 10 ounces. I think Parker barrels were struck better.

Ha! You should try negotiating the Vermont terrain where I hunt Tom. I carry and shoot a (several) Parker(s) but use a Fox twenty-gauge Sterly as a climbing staff - I've worn almost two inches off the end of those "Chromox" barrels over the years.... .

There was a fella I used to spar with (good naturedly) on the 16ga forum, who used to refer to my Foxes as tomato stakes - he was into some weird kinda gun with the barrels turned the wrong way
 . The last time I heard from him he had two or three Foxes and had another on the way. So don't worry guys; there's hope for some of you yet  !

I don't currently own a Fox, but I will say they have a very simple, straight- forward design.

I do not believe the Fox Parker Challange was ever won by Parker.........draw your own conclusion.

Would not better shooters choose the best gun?
