577Robert,

Having seen the pictures of your Harry Baelder 425 Westley Richards as well as of some of your other rifles including the beautiful 600-577 Rewas, I am sure that your 500 is exquisite. I liked the rifle advertised by the Baelder company because it looked like a nice classic rifle - the crossbolt through the grip is something that Rigby used on their bolt rifles if I remember right. Yes, HArry BAelder is a genius and whoever owns one of his rifles is someone of fine taste.

Best wishes and good hunting!
