Finding and actually buying are two different things Jagermeister. I don't know why you waste your time providing links to guns that you will never buy. I don't click on your links anyway, because you have shown us that you are an internet troll who cannot be trusted. You have repeatedly lied to us about guns you claim to own and about your reloading and hunting activities. I hope you get the same satisfaction from tire-kicking, drooling, and lying that most of us here get from actually owning and shooting double guns.

The barrels on that Fox make it clear that you cannot go by barrel convergence to determine whether they've been cut.


You would rather have that Fox then a Model 21? smile

Thing of it is though, a Super Fox is so rare unlike a Winchester 21 or an Ithaca NID in that configuration, 12 gauge with 30 plus inch barrels with 3 inch chambers, I would be hard pressed to use it.

That is a nice Fox though.

Super Foxes were made to be used. With a little reasonable care you can kill ducks with one and not diminish the value of it one bit. And, even if you did put a little more wear on it and diminish it's monetary value some, is it not worth it? I think it is, and mine kills ducks every year.




Not hard pressed, SRH

The 12-gauge Super-Fox is not really rare, or even scarce, with 950 produced. On the other hand, the 87 magnum-framed, 12-gauge, 3-inch, Ithaca NIDs are pretty scarce. I have never seen the numbers, but I'd be willing to bet that there were far fewer 12-gauge Winchester Model 21 DUCKs or MAGNUMs than 12-gauge Super-Fox doubles.

Back to the stock market discussion, if you are not bored by now. Investors do not use their stock market appreciation to buy bird guns. Most of them have enormous taxable capital gains involved in selling stock. Most guns are bought with ready cash or an accumulation of paychecks.

It has to do with supply and demand. Something taught in Economics 101,

In todays market the old coots with the nice doubles want to sell and, for the most part, the next generation couldnt care.

Moreover, except for the Winchester Model 21, anyone buying a SxS has to assume that they will have trouble getting back the purchase price when they go to sell.

Well,

I'm in the boat with Shotgunlover on this. Show me the deals. I haven't begun to see them yet, but hopefully I'll live long enough (now that I'm done with motorcycles).

Maybe the stars will align at the Vegas show in a couple months, and all these low priced fine doubles I'm hearing about will be there. But .......... I ain't holding' my breath.

I'd have to disagree with the idea that Super Fox guns are not "rare, or even scarce." 950 guns is a very small number when you consider the desirability and number available to meet the demand. But they were a working gun, meant to be used for hunting. Taking a gun hunting doesn't automatically mean it should be abused, dropped, tossed in the bed of a pick-up, and left wet and dirty.

The 1963 Corvette split window coupe is considered rare. There were 10,594 examples produced. If I should ever be lucky enough to own an Optimus grade Lefever, there is no virtually doubt in my mind that I would shoot it and take it hunting. But if it was one of those days or one of those places where a slip and fall is more likely than not... I'd pick something else for that day.
