About once a year I make it to the Las Vegas Arms Show in Jan/Feb and get to see all the high end firearms. I guess I could buy one if I really wanted to sacrifice in other areas a lot. But I have already learned even carrying a $5000 or $6000 shotgun around a sporting clays course, much less the granite rocks of the desert for quail, sort of tightens me up as I am overly concerned with damaging it. So I don't seriously contemplate the Bests all that much. But I do like really nice engraving which shows up best on the white receivers most of the Italian guns showcase. The English with their understated looks just don't have the same appeal for me. So judging from appearances I would have to say the Filli Rizzini, Fabbri, and a couple other Italian guns are probably ahead of Purdey and H&H all other aspects considered.
