Maybe, sort of, but not really...

But pretty cool anyway.
I've always liked CSMC RBL's. I had a 16 and 20 gauge and the Professional slug gun for a while. With all the Fox 16's that I have I decided to let the 16 go a few years ago. It was just "clunky" compared to my Foxes.
I kept the 20 and I liked it, but my son used it more than me because I'm a double trigger guy and always thought that maybe someday I'd make a trade or somehow finagle a deal that ended up with me getting one with a double trigger.
So, when the Savage/CSMC "Fox" 20's came out I thought like a lot of us here - No Way! Not even close to a Fox! But my reptilian brain started to think that with prices coming down on them maybe it kind of sort of would look better than an RBL and with double triggers to boot!
So, I devised a plan to justify buying a Savage/CSMC Fox 20 establishing the criteria that would make me pull the trigger.
It had to fit me well enough and the barrels of my CSMC Professional slug gun had to snap on. I saw the full custom rifled SXS Fox that Dewey Vicnair did for a customer on his website and pined for it and it got me thinking that I needed the Kmart version. (My RBL 20 barrels did not fit the Professional at all and vice versa.)
I finally found one new in the box that the slug barrels fit like a glove. This may be the first Savage/Fox/CSMC Professional slug gun in existence. I might just have to dedicate this year's deer season to making sure that a "Fox gets the Game"!
