Over the years I've handled a lot of utilitarian boxlocks but every once in awhile I'll find a spectacular one: esteemed maker, great stock, prolific engraving, ejectors, unique fences, gold washed internals, ....basically, a spectacular boxlock.

Are such guns "best guns" or is the A&D boxlock unfit for such terminology?

And for the sake of this discussion, let's omit Westley droplocks, MacNaughton Skeletons, Dickson Rounds, etc.
