Is WR even up with the big three in quality of workmanship, fit and finish?




Not in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong. I am not disparaging Westley Richards or their product. My point is this: WR made guns and rifles that covered the waterfront from basic "beaters" to fairly high end models. WR also made guns and rifles for the trade. But even on the high end the product lacks the overall fit and finish of a Purdey, to say nothing about the design.

If you compare a WR sidelock ejector made to their high standards to a Purdey, the WR is leagues behind. That doesn't mean that the WR is a bad gun. It simply means that WR builds to a different standard. It also sells for considerably less, thus appealing to a different clientele.

Sinner, what say you on the topic?
