Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
First produced in 1940 by Savage Arms Company (Savage Arms purchased A.H. Fox Co. in 1929) as an upscale version of the Stevens Model 311, the Fox Model B would be a strong seller for Savage until its discontinuation in 1986. The Fox Model B was offered in 12, 16, 20, & .410 bores with standard barrel lengths of 30, 28, & 26 inches in 12 gauge and 28 & 26 inch barrels for the 16 and 20 gauge models along with the occasional 24 inch barrel. All .410 bore guns were equipped with 26 inch barrels.
The Fox Model B shotguns sported a simplified version of the Anson & Deely type of box lock with a single under bolt and was accessed by a Scott spindle top lever. The hammer and sears were powered by coil springs which made for a hunk of gun, but one that would rarely see the inside of a repair shop. It also features a receiver that is engraved with patterns on both sides and on the bottom of receiver.
The Model B was equipped with “select” American black walnut forends and stocks with a gloss finish. A through bolt retains the stock and the forend is held by a spring tension latch that is self adjusting and will not loosen. Stocks were pistol grip type with a fluted comb and a corrugated black plastic butt plate. Guns from the mid 50’s on had a more ergonomic pistol grip and donned a black plastic grip cap.
To begin with, forend style was a large version of the splinter style forend but was eventually changed to a beavertail forend. Simple hand cut checkering was used to embellish the stock until the mid 60’s when the pattern was changed to impressed checkering using a fancier looking pattern. The Model B had raised solid ribs for the first twenty years of manufacture, later switching to a ventilated rib.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Savage is in Great over all condition showing no evidence of excessive consumer use or mishandling that we can see!

We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
