Description:
Fox Sterlingworth 20 Gauge SxS
FINEST RESTORED STERLINGWORTH
General Specs: Fox, Year 1929, 16 Gauge, 6lbs, Side by Side
Serial Number: 261240
Most will agree the Fox Sterlingworth 20ga. is the best value for a small-gauge vintage American double in today's marketplace. Built on a tiny 20ga. frame (therefore lighter than like guns from Parker, L.C. Smith, or Ithaca), dynamically balanced, and this one weighing just 6lbs, the Sterlingworth is still an affordable field and clays gun with the handling and shooting characteristics of a much more expensive gun. This Sterlingworth, sn261240 from 1929, is a Philly gun built with great care. THIS IS THE FINEST RESTORED STERLINGWORTH YOU WILL WITNESS, WITH HIGHLY FIGURED NEW STOCK FITTED AND CHECKERED TO PERFECTION WITH MODERN SHOOTING DIMENSIONS, PERFECT METAL FINISHES AND SCREWS, AND MECHANICALLY EXCELLENT AND NEW IN EVERYWAY. The cost to do the work of turning a used 20ga. Sterlingworth into a finished gun like this would exceed $4000, much more than we are asking for this finished Fox. AND, THERE IS NO WAITING FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE! This gun has the most desirable 28” number 3 weight barrels with 2 ¾” chambers and are choked IC/M, perfect for your north woods, pheasants over dogs, or that favorite sporting clays course. Priced affordably, it is a great bird or clays gun and will function flawlessly as you enjoy carrying a piece of American history. Most Sterlingworths have excessive drop at heel and comb, but this one is quite reasonable and shootable for most average American shooters. If you like a "pretty gun", this one has been fully restored sometime in the past and it is quite an attractive little Fox. The Fox 20ga. Sterlingworth continues to go up in value and this one is ready for another 100 years of service. Thanks for looking!
