   Location: Probably On the Road to the Next Barrel Race! | Please consider Bob Berg...as the awards director for the last 5 years in my association, I've ordered close to 100 buckles from 4 different companies. They were all nice, but Bob Berg is absolutely outstanding in his quality, design, great attention to detail, and sheer beauty. You can get a gorgeous buckle for about $125. I'll never order from anyone else!! Terrie his secretary is awesome to work with! google Bob Berg Designs, you will NOT be sorry!! |

| Maynard, Bob Berg, Tres Rios, A Cut Above, Clint Mortenson, and Gist are all great ones. Personally not a fan of the Montana Silversmiths ones unless you get into their higher end line. They all look the same to me, and I think they're all very plain.
The buckles I rotate between wearing consistently are a Gist, Tres Rios, and Clint Mortenson. |

| I love Champions Choice, A Cut Above and Bob Berg, all very nice quality.
I am not a big fan of Gist unless they are the higher end. The lower end buckles look very production and plain.
Bob Berg starts at $125 and in my opinion for the price, you can't beat his quality and detail. I love Champions Choice and A Cut Above but they run a little more. |

Someone said this about Montana Silver Smith earlier and I feel the same way about Gist....you have to get the high end before they become unique. I have a Champions Choice and a Bob Berg they are my favorite buckles. Have never dealt with CC but have with BB and they are great to work with and very willing to customize the order. |

| I've used and been very happy with both Molly's Custom Silver and Yellowhair. Both were reasonable prices, good quality and didn't look "stock". |

| I used Corriente buckles when I put on a buckle series. They were $100/PC and everyone loved them. They turned out really, really nice. |

   Location: Probably On the Road to the Next Barrel Race! | On about Bob Berg again...if you want to know the kind and quality of people there, here is my story: I have a handicapped son who is now riding in the 9-12 age group.As he only trots/lopes, he has no chance to outright "win" a buckle. Well, I called Terrie Waters at Bob Berg and explained he'd be the only kid in his age group not getting one. So she designed one just for him, and when I said cool, how can I pay, check or cash, she said don't worry about it! They made him a gorgeous buckle, and just sent it with the rest, no charge. I like dealing with people that care, I hope you will, too! Attaching a picture of my son's buckle... |

Tres Rios.
We had these for a rodeo Bible, ours were inexpensive (can't remember the exact dollar amount, was under 100) and really nice buckles! |

   Location: Heart of Texas | I've had Mortesen buckles, great quality. Bob Berg, beautiful but really heavy. Corriente and Gist are beautiful as well. |

| I just won probably the prettiest buckle I've ever won. It's very unique and different and just plain pretty! I won it at a Buckle Series and it was done by a company I'd never heard of, "A Cut Above", I assume they have a website. I would highly suggest checking them out.
