The Iconic .500 3" Nitro Express - Westley Richards Double Rifle

Completed in July 2024 and regulated to place four 570-grain soft-points, fired from each barrel in turn, within a 2 ½ ” x 1 ½” rectangle at 50 yards, through iron sights, this .500 Nitro Express is a great example of Westley Richards 21st Century double rifle making.

By Westley Richards & Co.

The .500 x 3” nitro express, in the opinion if many professional hunters, is the perfect cartridge for dangerous African game and the Westley Richards 1897 patent hand detachable lock action is the perfect platform from which to fire it.

The principle of the close range double rifle is that it has to move fast and instinctively. At close quarters, the hunter often needs to shoulder it like a shotgun, acquire his target and fire, in one fluid movement.
