Italian makes a good point.

For many of us during our teenage years a Stevens 311, Savage Fox, or dad's Ithica box lock were great guns! As we grew older and could afford more some of us began to appreciate better quality American guns (nothing against an Ithica). For me, my taste in SxS's broadens a little every year. While I presently do not own a British game gun I have come to appreciate them. When the right one comes along it will be mine. The Brit will then reside in my safe bteween my Parkers and LC Smiths.
