Key features and why they matter

The SAVAGE ARMS fox model b is a 12 gauge Deluxe Side by Side double with 28″ barrels. A 12 gauge side-by-side remains a versatile choice for upland and close-range waterfowl work; it offers a broad range of shot payloads and reliable patterning with traditional loads. The 28″ barrels favor a crisp swing and follow-through ideal for moving targets.

Stock and receiver details

This example carries a checkered walnut stock that complements engraved detailing — an engraved fox motif sits on the bottom of the receiver, while the receiver itself is case hardened. Those cosmetic touches enhance collector appeal while maintaining practical function. The exterior of the barrel is marked as model B, and beneath the barrel you’ll find inspection marks stamped BS and an A & E inside a circle; these maker and proof marks help verify lineage and inspection history.

Condition and price

The firearm shows some expected wear: there is minor pitting on the receiver and small dings in the stock. Overall condition is described as good, and the listing emphasizes that the photos are the best statement of condition — review them closely before purchasing. The listed price is $649.99, placing this piece in a value segment for collectors and shooters seeking classic form without a museum-level premium.

Field use and practical considerations

As a traditional double, the Model B offers immediate second-shot capability with simple break-open loading and extraction. For hunters who favor light, reliable gear in brush or bird fields, a 28″ side-by-side balances sight plane and swing dynamics. Verify choke status, bore condition, and overall lockup on arrival if purchasing.
