I like the rifle a lot, especially the traditional Westley Richards drop-box magazine. As with Rigby, its great to see new manufacture of vintage-style Brit sporting rifles from the golden days. The makers are to be commended for the undertaking imho. Hope it never ends!

I don't mind the fire-blue extractor so much either, could be considered traditional, but never seen a trigger finished that way. The bolt-release was often fire-blued as well, and I would consider the pattern on this one to be unusual when it could have been blued to match the extractor.

If I had to be critical though, the "smack in the face" serial number placement would not be on my custom order. ...especially the one on top of the bolt-handle!
