Wow!
Some absolutely top notch pieces of kit there!
In some unusual calibers, 9.3x62, what appears to be a .500 Jeffery & a 577/700!

Yes very nice indeed.
So glad they weren't Wetley Richards. Those knockoffs were put out of Belgium in the 1890's for the "overseas" trade.

I’ll take the 700/577, please.
Sexy looking cartridge and you’d certainly be one of few with one.

Yes - I would say so, Ash.
It would make a nice single shot ctg. as well.

Beautiful!
The Swarovski scopes on the second pair must be the EE model, now sadly discontinued.
