A pity the mention of guns in England throws most everyone in a panic. Sad to see.
I’ve visited Holland and Holland and Purdy. None finer in this day and age. Best to remember, however, that it isn’t the gun that brings down the game. It is the eye of the hunter.
I seem to recall a story about a guy who shot a bunch of wooden nickels in the air with a Garand. You probably are on to something. I could rarely hit the “X” ring at 100 yards with mine.
I liked Purdy on the New Avengers.
Before too long, English shotguns will be for export only, if you get my drift.
