In my opinion, the Westley droplock rifle is one of the best out there. Yes there engraving of animals was cartoon like, but I have to say the rest of the gun is top tier. I have a lot of guns to compare to my Westleys, and the hi grades are as neat as any of my top Purdeys. Yes they made a lot of different grades of guns, unlike Purdey or Boss. However, they can't be considered a lower tier company with the following they had.

Also, H&H was commissioned by WR a few years back to manufacture a droplock and couldn't do it. Kevin and I had a good laugh on that one.. Go figure.
