Allen, Why D'Arcy Echols above all others. Roland | ||

How much are these rifles from new ? 6-10,000 ? What about a original Hartmann & Weiss from Hamburg. I know they are expensive but they look great. Cheers, Andr� | |||

I haven't handled any of their wares, but from the pics I've seen of their work, John Bolliger's style seems pretty spot on to what I like. I would also add D'Arcy Echols to the list, and he would probably win my vote. | |||

If limited to that list, then Frank or Steve. But it is just personal preference. | |||

Dang! If I could afford those choices, I'd just retire, buy three or four of John Kerry's wife's villas, learn French and make up stories about Vietnam. ![]() If you are going to spend as much money as these guys charge (and they earn every penny), I think it is a question of taste, not quality. Kinda like who is better... Rubens or Monet??? BTW, I begrudgingly wear bifocals to un-blur the dots that appear on un-Impressionist newspapers and like hugging full-figured women, if that tells you anything about my choice in gunsmiths??? ![]() Another thing to consider.... An original Rigby, Westley Richard or even a Holland and Holland may be available for the same price as a custom. Some day I'll own an H&H (if Mbogo375 doesnt' undercut me again ). I just wish I was flush enough to be in position to ask your question. | |||

Assuming you had the choice between the following 5 makers, building a 375 H&H. Which maker would be your choice? John Bolliger David Miller Bruce Russel Steve Heilmann Frank Wells Roland | |||

Steve Heilman then John Bolliger, but I would choose Duane Wiebe over any of them. However, as was stated before, do you choose Monet', Rubens, Picasso, or ? | |||
