The Purdey & Sons London Best 20 Gauge represents the elegance, balance, and traditional styling associated with fine English sporting shotguns. Built in the classic side-by-side configuration, this refined game gun combines graceful proportions with practical field dimensions, making it equally appealing as a distinguished collector’s piece or a highly capable upland shotgun.
Its 27-inch double barrels provide a lively, responsive feel, allowing the gun to move naturally and quickly on flushing birds. Chambered for 3-inch 20-gauge ammunition, it offers useful versatility for a variety of sporting applications. The Modified and Full choke combination provides a well-rounded pairing for shots at differing distances, with the Modified choke offering flexibility over pointing dogs and the Full choke delivering a tighter pattern for longer opportunities.
The traditionally styled action is finished in handsome case coloring, giving the gun the rich, understated appearance expected of a best-quality English shotgun. Double triggers provide immediate and instinctive barrel selection, allowing the shooter to choose the preferred choke without relying on a mechanical selector.
A straight-hand English stock complements the gun’s classic profile while promoting smooth mounting and natural hand placement. The 14 3/4-inch length of pull offers comfortable dimensions for many shooters and contributes to the shotgun’s well-balanced handling characteristics. At just 6.05 pounds, this Purdey remains light enough for long days in the field while retaining the stability needed for a controlled, fluid swing.
The shotgun is accompanied by a traditional motor case, providing secure storage and an appropriately elegant presentation. With its case-colored finish, double-trigger arrangement, English stock, responsive 27-inch barrels, and desirable 20-gauge chambering, this Purdey & Sons London Best is a superb example of the refined sporting gun—an exceptional choice for the discerning upland hunter, English-gun enthusiast, or collector of fine firearms.
