Ferrari & Lamborghini also make tractors.
My point being.
I have seen many workaday examples of guns from the second tier makers.
Living in the British colonies I suppose a man would see more of that type of thing.
Not a lot of money on the land & a huge market to be met for pest clearing.

Then other brands that are second tier (& rightfully so) have made some very fine sporting guns for those in the colonies who have money & pursued sport such as live pigeon. Skimin & Wood is one such company.
