If you want Hollywood with a high probability that the gun stuff is right, try anything directed by John Milius, who is a pretty serious gun nut. "The Wind and the Lion", for example.

The final episode of season 5 of Downton abbey is set during a driven pheasant shoot (Northumbria I believe). There are a lot of beautiful guns. Not 100% sure, but I believe I spotted a matched pair of Greeners.

I'd read the story, but had missed the movie "Savannah" somehow and bought one from Amazon last week. Watched it and thought it was great!...Geo

Interesting no one has mentioned, The Dark Valley, a western adventure set in Austria. Very interesting germanic gouble shotguns and rifles that are used.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

While watching the morning news, just saw an ad/trailer for "Far From the Madding Crowd". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2935476/ The trailer (at about 0:09) shows the lead actress swinging through with a Jones-underlever hammergun. From the reviews this looks like a chick flick, but who knows.
fiery, dependable, occasionally transcendent

Marines love that part of the movie . . . although it never happened. John Milius got the gun stuff right, as he almost always does. (He's a serious gun nut.) But he tampered significantly with history. Roosevelt sent a fleet, but the only Marines to land were a handful who came ashore as reinforcements for the Consulate in Tangier. (Would've been a good idea if we'd done the same thing at Benghazi, a century later.) And Perdicaris was a 60+ year old man who didn't look a thing like Candice Bergen. But the Raisuli was real enough, and fought an on again-off again war with the Spanish (who eventually occupied northern Morocco) and the sultan. In the 1920's, he came into conflict with another colorful Moroccan character: Mohammed ben Abd el Krim, who led the Rif Berbers in a revolt against Spanish occupation, known as the Rif War, that lasted for more than 5 years, and during which the Rifis defeated large Spanish forces on a couple occasions. In retrospect, the Raisuli's policy of using force when the enemy was weak and negotiating when the enemy was strong might have worked out better than Abd el Krim's all-out war with the Spanish (and eventually the French)--which ended in defeat and the occupation of the Rif.

Another vote for "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels", as well, I don't think the BBC Inspector Lewis episode "Counter Culture Blues" has been mentioned.
