EDITOR’S VERDICT

Purdey has created a gun at the fraction of the cost of one its Best guns, but which shoots just as well. You might be wondering why Purdey would produce such a gun because surely everyone will go for the more affordable option? True, but if you think of it like a wristwatch, some will want an excellent timekeeper made from steel, while others want a solid gold diamond-encrusted version. For me it’s all about the passion for the gun in your hand. It doesn’t have to be embellished, it just has to feel right for you and work well.
