Wilkes, Watson, Lang, Lancaster and many others made some of the finest pieces of work one can imagine.
I've owned Wilkes in .600 and .475 no2 and my .500 is Watson. My .450 no2 is a Lang and all are the best grade rifles made. Not to take anything from the big 'uns, but the others should be elevated to their level.

Not to mention sometimes the "Po Folk" can afford an Army Navy (Webley) or Lawn & Alder (Osbourne).

I won't cry over these makers not getting the same respect as the big names. It has allowed me to be able to afford to own some best grade rifles that I couldn't have if the H&H, Purdey or Westley Richards name was on them.
