Charles Askins eventually headed to Philadelphia to work with Becker at the Fox factory in developing the Super-Fox with John Olin receiving the first factory-built Super Fox at the end of 1922. Nash Buckingham had his own Super-Fox, nicknamed Bo-Whoop. Becker designed them with close tolerances and extra features to insure the best shooting performance. Fox marketed the Super Fox with a guaranteed full-choke pattern of 80%, the Super Fox became a specialized gun for the serious hunter. Fox only made about 300 in the Super Fox Grade over a 20-year period.
