New Westley Richards 470NE?
|
Hi
I posted a couple of weeks ago about availability of used English doubles in Australia. I got some good replies/responses which made me think a bit further. I also started thinking about new DRs and Westley Richards always receives favorable comments on this site.
A new 470 boxlock is approx £30,000 and by the time I added insured postage and Australian duty it would end up being about £35,000. Only a few years ago that would convert to about $85,000 Australian dollars however at current exchange rates it is about $55,000 Australian dollars - a big difference.
I would appreciate any comments comparing that price to what I may have to pay for a used roughly equivalent gun. Hopefully my assumptions and calculations hang together.
Regards
Rick
