Fox Collectors

I'm a waterfowl hunter so 20 gauge guns take a back seat to waterfowl guns in my collection. OK many of you think 20 gauge is THE waterfowl gun. Most of my upland hunting is woodcock/grouse and Dakota pheasants. My favorite is a CE 20/26. How about U?
I purchased a real nice Sterlingworth 20/26 which is about the best value in SxS's today, my second choice.

Craig, that's a beautiful CE. My only 20 ga. Fox is my 26" Sterlingworth "Brush Gun" that shipped from Philadelphia in 1918. It seems like it was made for woodcock, but it works for pheasants too.

Hey Craig,

Beautiful CE Craig! Hey is one of my favorite bird guns Fox Sterlingworth 20 Ga. 28" bbl. M/F with upgraded woodI bought on E-Bay, but that's another story. My brother-in-law Paul and I went Bird Hunting at Addieville East Farm 4 days before Easter in 2016. Real nice Sterly Jeff. Brian

My 1913 vintage A-Grade 28-inch --

Not for the purists here, but my current favorite 20 gauge is this Sterlingworth I purchased as restored by Turnbull from a gent in the midwest. Here it is with its' near twin in 16 gauge. (The Turnbull one is on the right with the properly timed screw) Makes a nice pair of shooters as they are both configured for upland hunting.

Craig, thats not a fair question (haha).... it's almost like what has been our favorite Lab?? This one has got to be way up there for me.

1913 Sterlingworth 20 bore, 28-incher choked Mod & Imp Mod, converted to straight grip/thick wrist/long tail trigger guard

1935 Sterlingworth, 28" and 1916 A grade, 26"

I nice little Fox CE, 20g, 28" shotgun that Vintage Firearms restocked and refinished for me last year.

This Sterly , I stocked for Her. Ive used 5 other Foxes over Her in 12+ years but this is Her gun.

My Sterly 20 Gauge Ejector that was restocked in nice English and engraved as an A Grade. Fits me fantastic and goodness I don't miss much with it.

Very well timed - I was rearranging the gunsafe anyway practicing social distancing so to speak, so pulled aside these babies for show & tell:

The (bottom) rack photo shows 2 A Grade 32-inchers, one top & bottom, with my sweetheart BE 20 in the center slot. The top A in the rack is the ejector gun from Julia's auction of Dana Tauber's collection, and the bottom A is an extractor gun (now known as the "Amish Gun") which came out of nowhere on an obscure internet auction site tip (Thanks 'VA Turkey'!!). The BE came from one of our terrible local gun shows in MD long ago when only 2 or 3 people within 500 miles of here knew what they were looking at. Enjoy, Kevin

I have used this 20CE for years but since losing sight in my right eye and still learning to shoot left handed I have switched to my A grade 16.

I'm jealous. Those are some beautiful guns you all have. Here is my Sterlingworth 20. 1925, IC/M. Really liking it for grouse and woodcock.

Gotta go with the XE
