I always have admired the Reeb and O.Geyger actions. The Lindner and Sauers as well. I think Delp or Delph was another that had a great shaped action that would compete. Never understood how doublegun lovers could not see how much these guns stand out against the British best guns......
....... I should be ok I have been buying some of these guns pretty cheap thanks to that foolishness.
And I'll let you in on another little secret: The Austro-Hungarian / Bohemian wares are gems too, along with some of the French. Most are >>in the white<< platforms sourced from the most talented mechanics of Liège. Many times a longarm with an odd, unknown name with Belgian marks passes as a lower rung price point offering / JABC, when in fact it is a gem.
British Best shoot a firecracker load and need to be tweaked or are recommended to have maintenance every year whilst a Bohemian Best can go a Century with a healthy digest of cartridges.
