One can contract for an American Gunmakers Guild rifle that equals or exceeds the fit finish and performance of a Purdey or Holland’s etc. And still spend much less, and have it in hand long before your grandchildren are grown... Beautiful guns indeed, but status symbol more than anything else.

Can one really? It’s reassuring. I defer to you on prices & wait times. Haven’t checked on Guild activities in years.
“Status symbol” is exactly right: yet another reason I’m glad I live in the United States, where those of us with modest bank accounts can still acquire items that perform well.
