Very nice pair of shotguns. Every choke is improved cylinder, I guess for closer incoming grouse in flight? Those chokes, all the same would make a pair of shotguns imo less attractive for lots of other use.

Why on the earth does the writer spend so much time talking about WW1, Jazz, "geopolitics" and other completely irrelevant stuff? My guess is it's a "diggory" article as I believe he writes some of the Explora stuff?

What exactly makes a "grouse" gun? Never explained. Instead I suspe t the diggory waffles about Cuba and "Mrs Castro" ...

Lovely guns for sure.

Not enough triggers for my personal taste, and the bag-grips seem out of place on a British game gun.

Nevertheless, I need to own at least one Westley Richards double before confronting the grave.
Affordable examples have always eluded me.
For now I must remain content with perusing the good fortune of others on The Explora pages.

Thanks for the reminders, Matt.
