Yes, I had a pair of Boss DR's I sold them to Bob Lee of Hunting World a while back. Excellent guns and almost never seen as a pair.




I see that among the London big 3 Boss seems to be the only one totally left out of the DR scene .Purdey you do hear and see about the occasional( and wonderful) DR every year.
In you opinion what do you think is the reason, they do not make many as not much demand for boss DRs or since they do not make many ppl assume they are not good at it. From your personal experience how do they stack up against H and H ,purdey or probably even Westley Richards ?

Thank you





Boss like Purdey is known for there wonderful shotguns mostly, but because they are bespoke makers at least Boss was anyway, very few rifles have been made available to witness. I believe to this day Purdey has built around 400 DR's, Boss much much less. The extra finish Purdey DR's I own are among the finest DR's I have handled in every regard.. The pre war Boss's as well..
