I handled a Pieper game gun, one rifle barrel and one shotgun, not long ago at a gun show. I liked it. It was quite light. Guy wanted $450 for it though, so I passed. I think it was 38/55 and 16 gauge...least that's what the fellow said it was. Hard tell'n tho.
I see them in the pages of Double Gun sometimes. I think they are okay...maybe a Chevy vise a Caddy.
I hear mixed things about Belgium guns, some great some not-so. I do know that most of our damascus barrels came from Belgium, more from them than from the English. If the barrels were excellent then I suspect many of their guns were too.
