Back in the 60's I bought my first decent double which was a Fox Sterlingworth in 12ga with 28" barrels choked modified and full. This gun at $150 was a financial stretch for me and I had to pass on the Crown Grade L C Smith the guy also had at $250.
The Fox was the only shotgun I had for years and I used it for hunting everything from quail to ducks to deer.
This was considered a good all around configuration at that time and I suspect I could get by with it today if necessary.
