OP 1marine89 Sidelock Joined: May 2008 Posts: 98 LSA Anaconda/ Balad Iraq	Ok here is my delemia and choices. What would you do and why? I can only afford to buy one of these. So I need to decide on which one. CSMC Model 21-1 in 12ga 30" barrels with extra set of 16ga barrels, AAA Walnut upgrade on wood, B-carve at todays list price of $19,000.00 or CSMC Fox CE 16ga 30" Krupps steel Barrels with extra set 20ga barrels at todays list price of $21,350.00 Either way they will be shooting and hunting guns. I look forward to hearing from you on your opinion. _________________ For those who have fought for it Freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.

Wood any good on the Fox? I would pick the Fox because I like the looks better and would find the combination more useful FOR MY PURPOSES. Nice problem to have btw.

The small frame Fox wins hands down for an upland gun. Glenn There is no sacrifice too great for someone else to make.

OP 1marine89 Sidelock Joined: May 2008 Posts: 98 LSA Anaconda/ Balad Iraq	Can you back that up on why you feel that way? Honestly I think its a hard choice and its a choice I will be making in the very near future. I love both of these but can only afford one. They each have features I like and I already have a sxs in each gauge so they are not filling an empty spot. For those who have fought for it Freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.
