No doubt about their craftmanship....the better fit is more easily attained when starting from scratch.

Fox you've got to be kidding? Over here we run them to ground, or let the hounds have them.
Next thing you are going to tell me how wonderful your undelivered RBL is, superb wood, brilliant acid etched engraving, BLAH,BLAH.
Sad people, very sad, truly sorry, condolences on your sad loss of sanity.


When you buy a H&H half the price is to pay for a load of English bull##!t and snobbery. It should come with the smarmey salesman wearing a tattersall shirt and a silly pair of girly knee britches. The guys who actually make them see only a tiny fraction of the price. Of course the craftsmanship is second to none. As regards running the fox to ground, well you know those days were taken away from you by your nanny government. Even your prime minister has to ask "how high" when George the Simple says jump.

Thats a fact!! I have seen some very nice brit guns..but 26k..no way.. Not the way I hunt..i guess its ok for some brit with 10k worth of gay looking clothes at a "throw the birds over the hill while I avoid any mud or brush" grouse hunt...

I think that the Fox will be a more versitile gun in the long run. The H&H is just another used gun while the Fox will always be a gun that was custom made for you. Take the new gun and do not look back. Or if you want, buy both. I bet that the H&H will be gone in a year or two at the tops. You can only shoot one gun at time and will soon see that the Fox can do almost anything that the H&H can, but better.

Thats the funniest thing I've read on this board in a long time! Not sure if its true or not though, but funny all the same. I'm sure English hunters who actually "walk up" and work for their birds think the same thing about their high society buddies who stand at "pegs" and shoot driven game. With that said....I would love to stand at a peg someday and shoot driven fowl in England I wonder if I'd fit in wearing my standard baggy Levis, olive green Lacrosse rubber boots and a Billabong surf shirt and my standard issue beanie??? Probably not.
