They're both beautiful. But that WR is really a dream.

The pictures came from an auction. If you are interested in the rifles, I can PM you the info.
However I am displaying them here purely (ie not advertising nor having any stake in the auction or firearms) for members enjoyment and as examples of the firearms displayed on NE for the future.
