1918 BE Fox

Having to shoot a few doves between harvesting days. My shooting has had a hurt put on it this season because of all the rain down heah'. This was last Saturday afternoon. Eight of us tried to shoot a 45 acre peanut field. Hard to hem 'em up with that few people. I took a bad stand to begin with and finally moved to a stand where there were more birds moving. Several shooters got a limit. Big, mature birds.

RIOs, 1 oz. 7 1/2s.

That is a beautiful rifle. I would love to have a Mannlicher stocked rifle, but most seem to have the butter knife bolt which I don't especially like. Yours is just right. The only thing I would do differently is use the Talley type quick release rings and bases.

Yellow Lab Stella, a pair of Wood Ducks she retrieved, an old hammer-gun that took them, and an aging duck hunter:

Rio Bismuth 1 1/16th oz #5 loads, 12ga, 2 3/4". The gun is Birmingham proofed built and badged for a New Zealand hardware store in Christchurch called E. Reese & Son. The name on the steel barrel rib is 'Symonds Keeper Gun'...Geo






Maybe someone can decipher the proof marks to determine when it was proofed?
