Re: Cogswell & Harrison Vs Westley Richards

I'm not a brand name snobb, and that is good for me! When I find a nice double rifle, the maker is only an indication of what I'm going to have to pay to get it!

Haveing said that, I do collect Westley Richards doubles, both shotguns, and double rifles. The reason is, I found my first two WR rifles at quite bargain prices, and just let that be the start of a collection. Amoung Britt double rifles I find I like the WR better than some that cost more to buy, and sell for higher prices. NOW, if I could have any double rifle I wanted, it would,probably be a H&H ROYAL 500NE, over just about any other name. They are very costly, but there are double rifles that are more reasonably priced that are just as good, for what I use a double for! HUNTING!
Here let me say I have many doubles that are Europien, and the best ones are German. I find these rifles to be very well made, and the regulation is almost always perfect. The draw-back to the German doubles is the chamberings. They tend to be smaller bore size, intended for Deer,bear and boar. The britts are usually larger chamberings for Africa, and India.
