I was browsing through Peter Hofers guns,would any one have the heart to hunt with those rifles?Shotguns I understand but those 470 ne rifles in african bushes...

Btw how much do those guns cost,just the guns?

His shotguns run from $155,000.00 on up to $1,000,000.00 same goes for his double rifles and combinations guns. Bolt guns vary from $65,000.00 to sky's the limit as well. I have hunted with a bolt gun and a double rifle in 300H&H of his, some of the finest weapons I have handled.

Generalwar,

From what I’ve read in the other threads seems like you are the only one if not one the few members on this site who had the opportunity to own a Boss Dr .It would be great if you could give me your point of view on them, especially in comparison to other gun makers such as H and H ,WR or Purdey.

Thank you

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..

I happended to see pictures of your purdey rifles ,you are a very lucky man .I also noticed you have a soft corner for purdey ,so in you opinion which gunmaker at present would rival Purdey or better them .
