Often sleepers in my opinion. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns

They're nice, but they look like one of these with a little more work on the fences, fancier engraving and some other refinements: http://www.gunsinternational.com/Webley-Scott-Model-720-12-Gauge-Box-Lock.cfm?gun_id=100158632 I don't see a gun that compares with something like this: http://gun-vault.com/greenerspecial-1-2.htm OWD Last edited by obsessed-with-doubles; 07/17/12 08:16 PM.

I have a W&S 700 & a W&S 701 & I like them both for what they are but they in no way compare to the Harkom guns. The W&S 701 was the highest grade of the 700 series & is nicely done but is still just a highly finished 700 w/dovetail lump bbls, pierced bottom plate, very average checkering & all. I would vote the Harkom guns as best boxlocks for their period of manufacture. In later boxlocks with fluid steel bbls I would like to see chopper lump bbls before calling them best boxlocks. I really like the bolting , the detail work & finishing on the Harkom guns.
