I agree with most of these guys but I have a Purdey rebarreled 28 inch 2 3/4 not by Purdey weighs 6.4 lb very nice shooter and two other sleeved Hammer Purdey's that are a joy to hunt with and I do not worry about weather, scratching ect.....but I am a shooter not a collector.
You have to think about what you want it for. Most are bespoken guns made to fit someone else.
