John, I agree that while price is not the only factor, it is certainly ONE factor in a "best" gun . . . if you believe that "best" includes the best wood and superbly-executed hand engraving. But you can certainly find guns that put form above function and attempt to attract buyers via eye appeal only--and they're not bests either.

Shotgunlover, I wish you well in your endeavor!
