Vanity does not make a best Thorny. Ruffed grouse in wild rose hip sauce is not available in the grocery store, mine or your's.

I'm preparing the last grouse of the season as I type. Makes me forget all about the grocery store, and their malnourished chickens.

Steve Forbert would say I was born too late. He'd be right.

If "English Best" were so, Digweed would shoot a Purdey.

He don't. Vanity has it's limits, it would seem, located very close to where the BS walks, it would appear.

Anything added at this point is only so much something about nothing. The term "best", when used around shotguns, really means little, to nothing, about performance.

It never has. It is the most brilliant marketing ever foisted upon any group of humans, and for the most part, shotgunners lap it up like mother's milk.

Don't you?
Best,
Ted
