In regards to the comment I should buy Japanese or Italian due to my lack of experience defeats my purpose... I have many other guns including others SXS. I really want an English gun since this has been my dream and its a treat for turning 50 and having a successful business. I agree some of the Italian guns are beautiful and I know they are well made, but I have experienced them.. I want the thrill of owning one of the legendary English guns.. Moreover, they appreciate in value Obviously many of you have felt the drive that I'm feeling now to own one of these magnificent guns. Again, thanks for every bit of advice, its really appreciated... I have learned an immense amount from joining this forum in the last 24 hrs, and hope to learn even more.. you are a knowledgeable group...
