I would throw Michael Louca of Watson Bros hat in the ring. I have handled one of his weapons, and it was special. Some say the top italian makers are right up there today.

Without question Fratelli Rizzini, Fratelli Piotti and Ivo Fabbri. I would give FAMARS an honorable mention too.

Guns at this price should have a long well known history - to all shooters.
After all, your paying for the name also!
Boss, Purdey and H&H come to mind, and are not sounding too gibberishly foreign when showing the boys at the VFW Hall's turkey shoot.
For that kind of money, London is still the best place to shop.

One would have to include Peter Hofer as one of todays top double gun makers, I second Hartmann & Weiss also. I would guess if you had the money, any of todays top quality double gun makers would build you "todays best gun". OB, I think Fabbri advertised that gun for somethinhg like $250,000 for the Safari Club Int auction maybe. Anyways, if I had the money it would cost to buy the worlds best double, Id much rather buy a ton of other rifles and shotguns.

Please. The Italians cannot make a gun that compare with anyone from Brit background. I'd take a Nelson or a Brown over and gaudy EYEtalian thing.

chux, if you buy a Boss, Boss will be chargin' you for their good name...and if you buy a Boss, you'll be wanting that good name.
So, you'll be payin' for name.
It is said, anyone can serve you up a best gun...Why then would a Boss & Co, be three to four times more expensive than a Army&Navy best made gun?
