[quote=Small Bore]It is arguably the case that Scott's best output at this time was the best that any English maker was producing, subtleties of taste notwithstanding. It certainly stands equal to any best London gun.
Within this statement lies the possibility to shoot "best" grade guns (OQ1) for half price. The trick is that one must learn to identify the Original Quality grade (OQ) of individual guns as opposed to trying to assign quality based on maker's name. But, don't imagine that having identified a BV2 or BV3 gun of OQ1 you can get BV1 priceing for it.
