Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Best grade or Bespoke gun....

Silly question time. I have yet to recieve a decent answer from several dealers in high-grade shotguns concerning the difference between a Best grade gun and a Bespoke gun.
Are they the same or totally different animals....

I think bestoke guns are those made to a customer's order. He picks the engraving, the wood, all those things that make it a very personal gun.

Best guns are high grade guns, and almost always engraved and with fine wood, but not made to any one customer's order. Most bespoke guns are also best guns, but not all best guns are bespoke.

Yup.

Bespoke (pronounced bih-spohk') is a British English term employed in a variety of applications to mean an item custom-made to the buyer's specification. While applied to many items now, from computer software to luxury car appointments, the term historically was applied only to tailored clothing, shirts and other parts of men's apparel involving measurement and fitting.
