Purdey has been building the finest shotguns and rifles for more than two hundred years. The blend of exquisite craftsmanship and perfect balance have earned Purdey not just three Royal Warrants but also the reputation as one of the finest gunmakers in the world.
In recent years, the shooting world has seen the increase in the prominence of higher birds and heavier cartridges. Reflecting these changes, this new over-and-under shotgun has been designed to meet the demands of today’s sporting world. As part of the process, it was tested with more than 150,000 cartridges to prove that it can meet such challenges.
