1. Rather hunt with: Reworded would be "If I was rich enough to consider scratching a $50K rifle I would rather hunt with the Westley Richards. Is it a droplock?

2. Either would "be" my collection.
3. Investment? That's what I keep telling my wife. But, I don't smoke my own socks.
4. With an exception of droplock configuration mentioned above both would so much better made than I could critique.
5. Not seen a David Mckay Brown in person but I fancy it as the more loverly of the two.
6. Anson & Deeley would be my choice if only for the histerical reverence.
7. The .470 Nitro is a wonderful cartridge, but the .500N is my Golden Calf. 570 grain .510 caliber 5800 ft/lbs energy and a J A Hunter favorite.
