Guerini makes a nice gun, in a variety of grades. They have done a great job in positioning themselves as a quality alternative to Beretta & Browning. At 10,000 sterling that Evans version would be pushing 20K+ here, without landing it with various fees, taxes, shipping. That's getting pretty steep for a factory machine made gun.

I would like to know what has been done to it -- if anything -- by English outworkers to Anglicize it, both aesthetically and functionally?

Any balancing for game-gun handling?

Any stock shaping, hand checkering or traditional stock finish?

If it is just an out-of-the-box Guerini that's gussied up I should think better to get a high-grade version with the makers name and save the money. If nothing has been done to improve it in England I don't see the Evans name as adding much value.
