I think small bore Foxes are a great platform for a custom gun. they are a lightweight joy to carry in the field. There are plenty of sterlingworth small bores around and are reasonable in cost .Its not Like your taking a rare and hard to find collector item and passing it off as something else. Stocked for yourself and engraved to please you. You can shoot them for the rest of your life and pass them along to the next Generation. Tuts gun is an exceptional piece of work. I have done a couple of small bore customs that I use and enjoy all the time. One problem though is once you have a gun made for you it can be habit forming. My last and final project is a custom Pigeon gun from a drawbolt stocked 12 ga Fox should be done in a few months. This will be the last one I do though.
