Saw a Westley Richards on consignment at the Owatonna Cabelas a few years ago-first DR I've seen in person. Made (IIRC) in the 50s, in .470 Express. Sent back to manufacturer in the 70s by the original owner for a set of barrels in .375 H&H. Both sets of barrels were included. Asking price at the time was $79,999.99. No idea if it ever sold, or at what price. All I remember is thinking it would almost pay for my house twice.

ETA-it was a beautiful rifle, easy to see why it was priced at an insane amount, but was the price insane for what the buyer got? Out of my league so I didn't bother looking into values.
