Westley Richards more popular in United States?
29/03/08 11:40 AM

In my reading it seems that I find more references to Americans ( who use English double rifles ) using Westley Richards double rifles than any others. Mind you I am talking about English doubles.I know Elmer Keith was a big fan of the Westley Richards double in .476 WR. I believe his model had detachable locks and a single trigger.

As I look over the various websites it also seems that Westley Richards is more receptive to the North American shooter.The WR website provides a currency convertor to translate British Pounds to U.S dollars and it appears that most of the used rifles are stored at the company's North American property.You sure don't get that on the H&H site.Heck on the WR site you can design your own double or bolt action and get an idea of how much it will cost you. It's fun. I like it.Nothing like fantasy.

The biggest thing I observed is that Holland & Holland has it's North American showroom in New York City. Westley Richards has it's American showroom in Montana. Just seems a little more central to me in both physical placement as well as attitude. While there is some very serious money in Montana it sure isn't Manhattan with it's blue blood attitude. More down to Earth.

Did Westley Richards make a company decision to go after the North American shooter years ago? Or is Westley Richards just not as aristocratic in it's outlook as Holland & Holland?

Just curious.
