What’s Included
- Savage Arms Fox Model B 20 Gauge side-by-side shotgun
The Fox Model B uses a durable coil-spring box-lock that has proven reliable for decades. Its extractor-only configuration keeps the mechanism straightforward while still providing smooth case removal after firing.
Both barrels are chrome-moly steel with a blued finish and a solid rib topped by a single brass bead. The 2 ¾-inch chambers accommodate standard 20 gauge loads, while the fixed Cylinder and Improved Cylinder chokes offer versatile spread for close-to-mid-range field use.
The forged steel receiver retains original case coloring, and the double triggers allow independent barrel selection without a selector switch. A tang safety sits conveniently behind the top lever for intuitive operation.
Oil-finished walnut furniture features cut checkering on the pistol-grip stock and splinter fore-end, providing a traditional look and secure handling. Despite light cosmetic wear, the wood remains solid with no structural issues noted.
