New Westley Richards 470NE on order, who wants to hear about it?

Wanted to report that we returned to Westley Richards a few weeks ago for stock fitting and once again had a marvelous experience. I was a little less dazed and overwhelmed this time and managed to take some more photos. I thought I would share some in case some of you are interested.....
 
Trigger, flirting with my wife as usual, LOL. Can't say I blame him, I think she's my greatest trophy.....

The people at WR really are very friendly . I was lucky to be shown around by Simon Clode and Chris Soyza some years ago . And there is nothing like flying over to the UK to watch progress on a double rifle being built just for you . One of life’s real joys .

Their customer service is superb; this is an experience I heartily recommend to anyone who is interested....
 
He had this 404 Jeffery in the white and ready for final engraving....... I took the plunge. Again, LOL.

I will have the 470NE double and the 404J bolt rifle, and I figure that's a pretty solid African DG battery. I think I'll stand pat for a while.....

We also visited the Museum of Natural History in London and I took the opportunity to photograph the world famous tusks of the big elephant shot on the slopes of Kilimanjaro in 1898, weighing 207/196 lbs and measuring 10’2” and 10’5” respectively.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
