Re: Westley Richards more popular in United States?

As a proud and patriotic American gunowner I have no problem with the observation that many of my fellow countrymen are very trendy.Gunowners are no exception. I myself was bitten by the GlOCK bug back in the nineties. I got older and matured, but not before I bought a couple - like so many others.

I was thinking about some of the points that were brought up, but it's always good to get another perspective. We do have a Cabelas just down the road in Boise and that store actually does sell the occassional DR. In the past the only English DR that I saw in the Boise store were a couple Westley Richards and they sold.Combine that with the two Westley Richards that are on display in the Elmer Keith museum (also in the Boise Cabelas) and I started wondering about the American preference for English doubles.

So Westley Richards is a higher volume rifle maker then H&H. I didn't know that. When I think about English double Rifles I have this image of a seventy year old Englishman wearing a leather apron and working over a roaring fire while a kettle of tea "brews" in the corner of his workshop.The English equivlant of the Japanese swordmaster.One rifle every 18 months.

Silly, but there it is. I have to remind myself that they are a modern manufacturer with customers across the world. Thanks.
