I find it hard to believe that anyone with half a brain takes this crap about "Best Guns" seriously. A bit of Brit snobbery and marketing hype. Reminds me of the time I was looking at a gun in one of the London dealers. The salesman described it as " a good honest gun". I only smiled politely but I was thinking " what the f#*k does that mean?". I can see what it is. It's an inanimate object made of steel and wood. If he had said it was a "Best" I would have been thinking " best for what" Luckily I've arrived at a time in life when I know a good shotgun from a dud. Good ones come from a lot of places. Same is true of duds. While I've never seen a dud Boss, I can't say the same for Purdey.
