Exceptionally well made and presented. An absolutely beautiful rifle.

Sometimes the new Westley Richard’s Guns are too “over the top” for me, but this one is perfect !!!!!! I really like it.

You can't load 5 heavies at a time, no stripper clip cut out from what I can see anyway

Far removed from over the top engraving etc from most WR examples!
Awesome piece of kit, especially the take down feature - brilliant.

Fairly much what I was thinking.

It is certainly a brilliant rifle.

Not if I owned it. I would have that out in the countryside hunting with it. To me it would look the part with some well earned nicks/dents in the stock and worn bluing. Speaks of doing what it was made to do. I know not everyone would agree with me.

I agree with the use Greg however I would likely regret the first bump, then get over it & continue it's use without problems. It's a tool, afterall.

Beautiful rifle. I was excited to see that WR offers a traditional hook sling in leather. Most of my rifles were made for them and I own only one, and that is too short and too narrow for many of the rifles, given it was made for my smaller 360EX Watson.

Not cheap but hooks go for $100 or more US$ on EBay.
