Savage Fox side-by-side 20 gauge

[Boncrayon]

I've owned a Savage FoxB 20-guage side-by-side since my early 20's. It's still my most prized shotgun. Have had offers but choose to leave it someday to one of my two Eagle Scout sons (pride showing). Does anyone else have one of these?

They're nothing like the old original fox, but a good workhorse, utility gun, It;s great that you can leave it to your sons, however, one gun, two sons, why not buy anothor one.. They're a little on the heavy side, for me, but a great starter gun for a youth.. and they won't likely wear it out..JFC

I don't have one but that's a nice one.

Got a 12 and 20. Have never shoot them much. To much drop at the comb for my preferences. Love doubles though, any kind.

Its not a Savage and its not a 20 gauge. But its an American double.

I love the pictures of the shotguns posted here. But I have one question. Where do you attach the flashlight?;)

I own a Savage Fox B SXS 12 Gauge, single trigger with 26" barrel, open and modified choke. My dad gave it to me, I imagine he bought it in the 50s.

More than a few quail and dove have fallen to it over the years, and it's one of the main reasons I prefer single triggers over dual trigger model SXSs to this day.

Those Savage, Stevens, Fox B, Springfield guns all had the same innards. The exteriors were better in the higher grades. I loved those guns and have spent many a day afield with them.

They were crudely made, but rugged. Some of the Savages and Fox B models had decent wood. The cheaper grades has what I call "ditch bank" pine for stocks. Probably birch. I doubt that they can be worn out. They were stout guns. Not very pretty but did the job.

They are getting hard to find now. I gave $79.95 for the last one I bought new. It would cost me $400 to replace it.

I have a Fox B 12 gauge that was my Dad's first shotgun which was in turn the one that I learned to shoot shotguns on. I am almost 40 now and it is one of my most prized firearms though it shows the wear of years of shooting and hunting that it has done. Despite that it still locks up tight and does it's job very well.

It still goes out in the field with me and it is still my first choice for bird hunting. Last weekend I took it coyote hunting in the orange groves on my friends property. It has been a wonderful gun that still fits me like a glove.

I have considered putting it away in the safe to keep anything from happening to it, but I know that my Dad would want me to continue to enjoy this old gun just as he did. :)
