Based on their recent performance I wouldn't hold up Harvard for anything positive

I won’t disagree one bit! Ivy League schools are overrated, in fact the whole college “experience” is overrated. If I was just getting out of high school now, I’d apprentice to become an electrician or a plumber. Your local electrician or plumber is probably more likely to own that Purdey than the college graduate with mountains of student loans.

Why a Purdey?? They just have a mystique in the world of shotguns. This is especially true in the USA, where Purdey pigeon guns have been used by the elite of the flyer game. Like a Parker, Purdeys have been made in more variety of gauges and weights than other makes, have features like side clips on pigeon guns, which are very rare or unobtainable on other brands. I have owned and shot guns by Greener, William Evans, Cogswell and Harrison, Woodward, and other Brit guns, but the Purdey has a cache that the others don't. Well, maybe the Woodward.
