I do not own a Fox yet!! just got my first Parker Hammer gun however MR McIntosh stated that the Fox 20 ga was the best 20 ga ever made in the USA saying it was perfectly proportioned. It was only his choice and I respect his opinion and am sure it is in the running for one of the best American made 20 ga guns they have fewer parts and strong as Tigers breath. Connecticut Shotgun makes some very fine shotguns they have been making FOX patterned guns for years. I wish I had the funds to buy some of their work.

I applaud the effort in this undertaking and hope it is successful. I like seeing anything that is "Made in America" and not some foreign country thousands of miles away. These create American jobs probably paying decent wages. We will never have the so called "golden age" of American doubles again, but perhaps as some have said maybe a new generation may find these there cup of tea. I hope so.

I don't know how much they will appeal to a younger generation at that price point. Lets face it $5K is still $5K and when you compare one of these to a real Fox or a Parker there is no comparison.

I have a CSM Fox, an FE 410 and it's a wonderful gun. Someday a long barreled 28 will be added.

I tend to agree. Some wise-ass recently called 'em:"AS GOOD AS IT GETS..."
