To take this a bit further. There are quite a few features that can be left out and still end up with "best" in terms of quality of execution, feel and balance. To give my list- fancy wood, engraving, monogram oval, self cocking, ejectors, self opening, auto safety, chopper lump barrels. Yes I am talking about a well built, plain hammer gun with Boehler monobloc barrels, superb balance and handling and there is no way in the world anyone can convince me that 35 000 sterling is a fair price for such a gun.

It's going to be difficult to convince me & a lot of other people that "best gun" & monoblock barrels belong in the same sentence. Chopper lump for sure, dovetail lump probably, shoe lump possibly but IMHO monoblock barrels are serviceable but they are not found on best guns.
