Eightbore:
I'm a 16 gauge addict and very much want a gun stocked to my dimensions so I can enjoy greater success with my dove and quail pursuits. I like the heavy scroll engraving on bamboozler's Fox; however, I'm not into gold. I'm a tall/large shooter and prefer barrels in the 28" to 30" range - a shootgun just seems to track smoother for me with longer barrels. Also, most of the quail chasing I do in AZ is in open areas.
Like many, I'm attracted to the Fox. It reminds me very much of an associates Westley Richards box lock that I drooled over - but I prefer American sxs. Parkers are also nice. For whatever reason, I'm not a fan of the Model 21 - no offense intended.
