I can confidently say that Johnny needs and deserves his own documentary series on gunmakers a la David Attenborough. Genuinely some of the most entertaining and interesting stuff I’ve seen in a while. Just absolutely lovely to put on to unwind at the end of the day.

Wow. Very nice to see “Old World” craftsmanship is still alive in a modern age of computers and lasers doing a lot of the work. Understood that the machined parts are outsourced, but the fit and finish is done by hand. Great stuff Jonnie, can’t wait to the finished gun.

Great video! I've been waiting for an opportunity to see RFM on film and am quite impressed with their business model. They truly blur the lines between 'bespoke' and 'custom' shotgun making. The Upland Gun Company is doing a great job of promoting these guns in the US. Delivering high quality, modern spec, affordable sxs to our market has helped renew interest in ownership. More than ever, I am questioning the differences between the terms 'bespoke' and 'custom'. My takeaway now is 'bespoke' truly only equates to 'brand or label' and 'overly expensive'. Thank you for taking us to such a wonderful place!

I have a 20 gauge field that I bought theough the Canadian dealer, basic SK field, fitted stock, 3" 20 gauge, grade 2 wood, 28" barrels, single selective trigger, orange recoil pad. My good god does it shoot; its taken game birds for me at over 60 yards and it upped my hit percentage and lethality greatly. I love that little gun dearly.

I ride a 1990s Bimota motorcycle. A small Italian manufacturer (sadly went bust early 'noughties' and now part of Kawasaki!) that, like RFM put incredible detail and thought into their designs and fostered a real family spirit , whist competing against industry giants. . The RFM family's attitude is part of why (along with food, wine, culture and scenery) that I think I should have emigrated to Italy a decade ago! I guess from their whole gun prices that a custom stock from them wouldn't break the bank either? would be a great excuse for a trip to Italy!

Pretty cool concept. Each department is it's own profit center. Everything is Ala-Carte and you can go into as much detail as you want (for a price of course). You can easily take that $2400 gun into the stratosphere. It also seems, these aren't just employees, they are partners. Very tempted to take a trip to MN with my son, and get us both fitted
