KY, I totally agree to the "buy the gun not the name" premise but this applies only to
"obscure" names. If it says J. Purdey or Holland & Holland on the barrels you are
going for something specific. If they outsourced their guns to very qualified turkish
or pakistani craftsmen to cut costs, then are the k/quids you are paying justified?
