I have never handled a NID Magnum, don't know how much it weighs, but I have found that the Super, for all it's weight and length (mine is 32") is a good handling gun. I've used it on a variety of jobs from sporting clays to mallards on the Cache and the L'Anguille Rivers in Arkansas. I am not a big man. Tall, yes, but I only weigh 164 lbs., and find the big gun to handle well. My Elsie short ten with 32" tubes is much slower to get moving and seems much more weight forward. I have posted the inside barrel dims here in the past on it, but don't have them at hand right now. Would be glad to dig them out for anyone needing info.
It may just be another Fox to some, but to me the HE is a prize that I count myself very fortunate to have in my keeping. Very hard times would have to befall me to see it sold. Many others in the safe would leave first. It came with an extra high-combed buttstock serialed to the gun which the previous owner strongly believed was made by Fox for the owner, maybe for trap.
Anyone ever seen an early HE that was not stamped "Not Guaranteed"? Any guess on how many were made before they started stamping them with this disclaimer as to patterns?
