Well executed and exceptional. I have to think about whether I like the gold backgrounds to the engraving. But I am not buying it nor can afford it! A great example of the Westley Richards standard of gunmaking art.

Quote:

As it leaves the bench for the last time, the one-hundredth Westley Richards .577 serves as a statement of what we as a company can build when orders dictate the exceptional.

It is a fitting milestone that sportsmen in years to come will hold up as testimony to what the Birmingham gunmakers of the first quarter of the twenty-first century were capable of executing. It is not a finale.

We all hope that when the two hundredth Westley Richards .577 is ordered, a century from now, Africa is still graced by the elephants which adorn this rifle, that sportsmen and conservationists continue to ensure they are hunted ethically and that the romance of hunting wildest Africa is a sport our great, great grandchildren can enjoy, as we have.




Interesting their comments about the numbers of .577's. I have an ambition to own a .577 3" NE one day, and would consider it my "biggest" useful double rifle bore. For the thick and close stuff, a true stopper, when it is really needed.

I do wonder if such a decorative rifle like this fine example will ever see the dust, heat, sweat and blood in Africa?

I need to pinch the images to add to our "archive".

inly is a very handsome gun with wonderful artwork. However, as Joh questions, I doubt it will be used as a field gun.
