Here are other pics: There's the gap: [  [/url] And here's a Purdey DR that's done right: [  [/url] BTW: I didn't mean to hijack this thread and turn it into a rant against Hollands. The engraving on the gun is stunning and it is very well done. But poor metal-to-metal fit really bugs me, especially on guns like this. The Brits will continue to see their gun businesses decline as long they allow sub-par work on their guns. Thanks OWD

That Beretta does nothing for me, but I think that is exactly how much you can get from Beretta for %1500 these days.

That's okay but I think you mean those days. The gun is 40 years old.

Either way - it is an unremarkable action to my eyes. Not comparable with that H&H in a million years.
You seem to be more interested in denigrating than appreciating.
Enjoy your "cheap" Beretta.

Gaps anyone?  JC(AL) Brent, don't get your undies in a knot. The engraving you graciously shared with us is an outstanding work of art and I thank you for it. The gap is another matter altogether  JC(AL)

There is no gap in the metalwork. What you are seeing is an illusion IMO. H&H would never release a firearm even a plain one with an obvious fault such as that.

JayCee, thanks for the panty advice. I'm pretty sure I'd be lost without ya.  Lowell, looks like lots of gaps to me. Especially on the outside curves. Brent
