Mr Cary, Thank you for the inquiry about my Westley Richards Rifle. No, it is not high gloss. It’s hard to explain. In photos it does look a little glossy but in reality it has a soft subdued look with a hint of shine from the hand polishing I would think. It is also smooth beyond belief, I...

Well done, vision usually pays dividends. JP

Congratulations Tanks, Always a special thing when one travels to the UK and places the order. Super delivery time as well. I had to wait 3 1/2 years. Hope it’s everything you had dreamed of. JP

Rookhawk, As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But that is one of the funniest and certainly most creative introductions for a sale that I have ever read. GLWS JP

While I have not purchased any firearms from Francis, I did purchase some new Kynoch Ammunition for my Westley Richards 375 H&H. The only distributor for Kynoch that I know of. He was great to deal with and a true gentleman. He made it easy to ship to my California dealer, with prompt and proper...

Situations can always arise while on a safari and some are truly out of the hands of the operator. I would find it interesting to know how many clients or members would have cancelled, or even if the OP would have, if they were told of the situation up front before arriving and as soon as the...

Congratulations Tanks, Let the journey and the waiting begin. It will pass a lot quicker than you think, especially when the progress reports and pictures start to come in. Visiting the factory to get measured is absolutely the way to go. I am sure it will be everything you hoped for. JP

May the hand of the lord bless you and your family through this difficult time. JP

Congratulations Tanks, Any trip to England for a fitting is a special thing. The wife and I had a super time in London, even though we had to go to Birmingham for the fitting. London has so much to do and see and the History is everywhere you look. I envy you. I wish we had scheduled more...

Rookhawk, Spectacular rifle and artesian provenance. I hope you are sure, one could not replace that rifle for anywhere near the original price today. GLWS JP

RB, Congratulations on the sale and on your upcoming hunts. JP

Kevin, Sounds like you have the real deal in the accuracy department, congratulations. For what it’s worth and I know you fretted over it but the effort and cost you went through to get the dot sight and mount exactly right was well worth it. looks really good as well !!! JP

Not far from you Dave. Welcome. The time will fly by if you prepare and practice. Congratulations on the hunt and may Diana smile upon you all with good luck and safe travels. The first Safari is a very special thing, you will want to return before you leave camp for home, Everything you need...

Sourdough, Congratulations on a fine H&H rifle in an outstanding caliber, I tend to agree with Rookhawk. It’s a H&H!! Leave it as it is, that is a beautiful rifle. If you really want to change the look send it back to H&H and have it done properly as well as documented. Just a uniformed opinion...
