"Also when its come to british double rifle makers who would you rate as the top 3 (including smaller firms)"

1. H&H
2. Purdey
3. WR
4. Rigby
5. Webley / Webley & Scott

I am going on who MADE guns and then the craftmanship versus the functionalilty / reliability.

Boss didn't make enough to warrant being up there.

I think the depth and breadth of Holland
is above everyone else.

Rigby - for the Rising third bite action which is a masterpiece but alas, they fell back onto Webley for the rest.

Webley / Webley & Scott or one of the incarnations would have to be up there for the PHV1 Action / Webley Screw grip action.

Jeffrey didn't make any / many.

That's my HO.
