In reply to: I think the "finish" of all guns in general is the same now - not as well done as in the past.
Agreed and well said! I think this everytime I compare my Chapuis to my 1960s French guild gun. The time and quality of an older double gun really puts many of the modern ones to shame.
I do like their style and finish better than most of their competitors: Merkel, Kreifhoff and Blaser.
