Step into the annals of history with this classic side by side shotgun from Savage Arms. The Fox Model B Series H, a 12 Gauge beauty, is a quintessential piece for any discerning collector or shooter. Despite its years, this model, manufactured back in 1952, still carries the charisma and elegance of its time. Its condition, although rated as poor, is a reflection of its rich history and experience.
The top lever of this gun is overcamed due to an improper barrel fit and the rib is loose. This will necessitate resoldering of the rib and welding and refitting the rotary bolt to regain functionality. Although it may be missing a forend screw, the receiver remains in good shape with only light scratching. The barrels and wood have endured some light dings and scratches over the years, adding to its character.
However, the bore condition is excellent with a clean, mirror finish and shows no signs of wear. The action is break-action with a 2rd capacity, and the barrel length is 28". The finish is a charming color case hardened look, and it features a wood stock and forend with checkering and a buttplate. The sight/optic is a silver front and mid bead, with a chamber of 3", 2 3/4" and chokes of Mod, Full.
What sets this gun apart is the beautiful game scene engraving, with a fox detail on the bottom. This not only adds to the aesthetics but also gives it a unique charm. Truly, this shotgun is a representation of its country of origin, the United States, and its rich history of gun manufacturing.
So, whether you are a collector of vintage firearms or a shooting enthusiast, this gun will not only enhance your collection but also provide you with a sense of pride. With a little TLC, this gun can be restored to its former glory and become an exceptional piece for any collector or shooter.
