The economy I had in mind is exemplified by a hammer gun discussed with Mr Boniotti in Gardone a few years ago. Rounded bar, peninsula locks, and could be offered with Boehler monobloc barrels, unengraved, plainish American walnut stock. This was a diversion from the usual specs but Mr Boniotti was willing to do it and at about half the regular price which was 5000 USD for the full deal back then. Two or three thousand for such a gunmaker made gun is economy of sorts.

Naturally we are talking a using double and not an heirloom. Not a "best" by any means but no Huglu either.
