I just seen the article in the Shooting Sportsman Magazine about the new Savage Arms Fox A grade shotgun. Has anyone seen this shotgun first hand and/or handled it? Any thoughts? http://shootingsportsman.com/fox-a-grade/

It is by Conn Arms and is an RBL under the finish. Not a bad gun.

So an A&D dressed up to look like a Fox. Not necessarily a bad gun . . . but if you're looking for a copy of a vintage American design, you can still find Parker Reproduction 12's and 20's, occasionally new/unfired and with a nice case, that are Parker on the inside as well as on the outside. (You can also find 28's, but likely for more money than one of the new Savage Foxes).

There are now a few in the Cabela's gun library. 20 ga. guns. Quickly noted extremely proud wood on the fore end. Getting past the frame profiling it looks much like an RBL, which in most respects is not a bad thing. I don't need another RBL although I'm satisfied with the one I have. Should be a nice gun, the weight is listed at around six pounds, all of those offered have nice wood and colors. $4500.00 going to be the problem I think.

Well in my mind, if it's just a re-branded RBL, then one may as well buy the RBL, at least it's an original and has full engraving.

+1 What Tim Cartmell said.
I think Tony outFoxed himself this time. Bad idea IMHO.

Be strong, be of good courage. God bless America, long live the Republic.
