Even with the absurdly high prices, the gun divisions of Channel make NO profit. It is the Purdey (H&H, etc) NAME which has value and results in high profits from clothes, etc sales. This takes nothing away from the quality of the guns, it is simply a fact of modern corporate survival.

The better Brit guns are certainly well balanced, but the ones I have hefted are a couple pounds too heavy. The other point which I dislike about them are the sometimes hideous engraving they incorporate. H&H just LOVES to advertize a double rifle with a gold wash over the African game scene which is simply pitiful. Some Purdey shotgun advertized engraving has some strange modernistic designs in an "American" engraving style which has me reaching for the nearest barf bag. The engraving in these instances is well done, simply without artistic taste. Go back to rose & scroll, fellows.
