Re: .318 Westley Richards Rimless Nitro Express

The bolt rifle in the photo looks very Germanic and very similar to Fred Adolph. I have a 1903 Springfield (unmarked) with the same checkering pattern. From what I understand Adolph farmed out some of his stock work to Germany. Maybe the British makers did the same. This might be the case with the rifle pictured as the bolt handle looks very WR but
the checkering German.

Anyway, lovely rifles and a lovely cartridge. It is also an elegant looking cartridge when loaded with the 250 gr round
nose bullet.

Would love to have a Type A in this chambering. I’d prefer it even over an original WR.
