Have a line on a Fox 20 gauge don't know whether it's a Sterlingworth , A or maybe even one of the Savage/Fox B's !

But I think I'll go take a look at it just the same .

Also have a Remington 1889 12 gauge . I'm not overly big on hammerguns but since I'll be there may as well look that one over as well .

don't pay fox sterlingworth price for glorified stevens 311 gon...

Well the thing turned out to be a first year of production Sterlingworth .

Which I gotta say surprised me a good bit . The rest of the stuff with it was not of the same caliber IMHO .

I'll go back tommorrow evening and see if I can make it mine

I am no advocate of Stevens 311's or the Savage Fox B's of the same time period .

This thing has 26" barrels that unless I'm mistaken were choked IC/M !

Oh yeah the 1889 Remington looked very nice . But it wasn't calling me LOL's !

The little Fox looked decent and of all things they had an old top lever H&R 16 gauge single shot I think I might try and acquire as well .

I do not think there is anything wrong with Stevens 311/ Fox Model Bs. They are heavy though I examined a 16 ga 28'' barrel was 7lbs 8 oz.

boy thats heavy for a 16 ga even in a stevens ..i guess i ll get dusted but i likev like the old 311 s..got a 410 two 16 s and a 12 in them and that 12 ga has been chambered two a 3 1/2 inch gun..there tough old guns not fancy but reliable.. charlie

I'll not be spending any money on a 311 or Savage Fox B .

In a perfect world I'd not own a side by side that was made after 1929 but then the World's certainly not perfect

Mr. Thompson
I was going to ask you in another thread what you thought of Ballard rifles as a BPCR. When I was young I went on a trip with my parents to Wyoming and ended up in a shop with a whole bunch of them do not remember much more I was only 13 I think.
