New 16 ga.

Post by Jeff S »

When buying a gun, I have found that I get the most enjoyment when the purchase is an “arms length” transaction from a fellow member. Recently I had the good fortune to purchase a 16 ga. AE grade from long time member Jolly Bill. Bill had owned this little sweetheart for 48 years and never fired it. Well, let me tell you, it shoots nice. Last night I shot a round of clays with it and those 30” barrels choked full/full are a pure delight. Lot’s of fun to shoot and has really strong ejectors. Big “thanks” to Jolly Bill for selecting me as the next custodian of this fine Fox.

Steggy,

We all know that it was the shirt that sealed the deal!

That's a keeper. Lots of 30" graded guns have been showing up in the last year or so. Goodness do they swing well.

I'm glad it's getting a nice home and owner. And good to hear it shoots OK!
