English gun makers - reputations
Let's say we are looking at a field grade basic English SXS.
As an opinion, how would you order this list. Best rep being #1
This is in random order, as I don't know them but have seen some and even purchased a Boswell hammer gun, just because it is pretty and different with its under-lever.
Thomas Bland and sons
W.P. Jones
Charles Boswell
Hardy Bros
BSA
Hunter and Sons (actually Irish from Belfast - just to clear that up and not cause an international incident)
Greener
Churchill
Charles Hellis and Sons
If you know others that are not listed and deserve top rating, please add.
