Our Sporter is the result of two centuries of gun-making tradition combined with twenty-first-century know-how. Simply put: it’s the best in its class. It took us three years of painstaking research, development and rigorous testing (and 84 separate design modifications and improvements) to reach the production of the Sporter. It was all worth it to produce a gun that’s built to an extremely fine tolerance. The Sporter promises you long-term mechanical integrity and strength, as well as a robust and reliable service for years to come. Our Sporter is a Purdey original design that we created to meet the demands of the modern shooter. The Field magazine described it as possibly the finest Over-and-Under design ever conceived. In 2008, we collaborated with Perugini & Visini to launch the original Sporter. In 2022, we decided to bring this design entirely in-house and create a London-made Sporter.As with all of our new shotguns, the Purdey Sporter is steel proofed as standard.
