Re: value on a .425 Westley needed

I did like this.
"They earned some fame for unreliability because the bolt tended to override the rebated rim of the .425, especially when worked fast in an emergency, causing a solid jam."
And in the sentence before "that the post-WW2 W-R "Game Ranger" rifles lacked the cartridge retaining clips and the careful handfitting."
That is kind of not surprising that he found the second part over ride / jam) after the first part (lacking retaining clips).
The rebated rim is a compromise ! I have a rifle caliber 11,2x72 from A. Schüler , without clips ! A problem when you have to reload very quickly ! Not very safe , especially by big game hunting !
But , if you like the 425WR , $2000 is a good price for this rifle .
