The greatest gun salesman of all time is out of office. The "Make America Great Again" or as I prefer to say "Make America Prosperous Again" isn't going to work for everyone. You probably noticed discounts from companies like Remington, S&W, Ruger,.....it's "Ramen Noodle" time for them at least until 2018 mid-term elections. I would hate to work for company that make AR stuff now.

OK OK, I give up...So if Remington owned the name PARKER, they could stamp an 870 "A1Special" and guys like Last Word Larry would run to Walmart on Black Friday and buy one, and brag about it? IT AINT A FOX..IT AINT A PARKER and I don't care.. I agree, LD. Just as when CSMC built the Rizzini-clone Inverness and then changed the Inverness cosmetically and called it a Model 21 o/u. Too much obvious rebadging for my taste. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.

I remember people running around trying to find the then new CZ P10c which is basically copy of a Glock.

Who, exactly, are they marketing a rebadged SKB boxlock to? Who pays 5 large for an SKB boxlock that says "FOX" on the side of it?
I might be wrong, but, I'd guess in a season or two, one will see some steep discounts on the few guns that were produced, and production quietly ended.
The original Fox guns have their fans, but, most of those fans have some gray, or, no hair at this juncture. Thats a finite and fickle market, that isn't all that interested in rebadged anything.
I wish them luck.
Best,
Ted

People seem to see similarity of RBL to that of SKB while the truth is that the designs date back to 1875 and shop of Westley Richards if I recall correctly. Perhaps they should emulate the simplest design which is from what I recall the legendary workhorse Emperor hammer-less from famous gun, "pot and pan" maker (like our Winchester) of Birmingham by name of W.W. Greener. They best known for the Facile Princeps actioned guns which if found with tang safety best our A.H.Fox.

Good luck getting somebody to fix it, correctly, on this side of the pond. Guns, and children's toys, should NOT be that easy to break. Best, Ted

If this new Fox is based off the RBL it is a good gun. And Savage can call it whatever they want. However, with short Barrels I would never consider one, but if a double trigger 32” model was offered I would be tempted.

You definitely won't, for the time being.

Ted maybe I'm not thinking clearly yet this morning, but the only way I can think of to close the gun without it being cocked is to shoot both barrels and then take it apart with the shells in the barrel, and then put it back together and close it...Geo
Or maybe have the forend fall off.
