Re: Best guns in the world today? Well, the OP is asking about "today," not pre-'64.

HaHa. You're joking, right? With the proper artistic restraints imposed, his bespoke OUs warrant consideration 28 ga Galazan OU I would venture a guess that shooting doves or sporting clays with this 7lb, 30" 28 gauge would be a memorable experience. I believe this is his pinless/screwless version. Too bad he doesn't make more like this

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Did anyone mention Watson Bros.? If they can build a gun like this, they certainly deserve consideration! Watson 4-bore (thanks to OWD for finding this)

This question needs to be split between who makes the best over and unders and who makes the best side by sides. that's the way I see it anyway.

Yeah, and there is something I am unclear about. Is the question "Who makes the best guns in the world today" or "What are the best guns in the world today?"
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

Side-by-side or over/under, I think Tony makes them both --  However, when that good looking Italian lady that translates for Luciano Bosis shows me the inner workings of a Bosis lock I could be swayed!!!

Best,
Mike Mike, I think the answer to your question is: You have to answer the latter to conclude the former. But, I did ask about the "...best guns ..." (plural) as I don't think it's worth debating about which particular gun is the best. I was generalizing on purpose. For example, I think Perazzi has to be in the group of best guns in the world, as these guns seem to be either THE most durable/reliable guns around or dang close to it. And, to me, going bang reliably is a significant trait. The most finely fitted and polished gun inside and out, falls out of the running if it is plagued with poor reliability. Reliability has to be at least good before it can be in the running as one of the best, wouldn't you think? If your H&H, Purdey, Famars, etc., broke down more than a Huglu, you'd be pissed.
