Hello,
Could some one help me understand the merits of the droplock,is it a far better development from the boxlock ,how reliable is it in comparision to the boxlock and sidelock.
Also when its come to british double rifle makers who would you rate as the top 3 (including smaller firms) .
thank you
good day
*I did look for previous posts on thsi subject but was not able to find any .
Its sure is a sweet system, but as to improvement its as far as i know, only when it comes to repair in the field.
But it probably makes the action a bit weaker, a blitz system would be a better choice for easy repair.

2. Purdey
3. H%H
But here its the value of the guns not the craftmanship, many will be able to stand up to them.
