Exactly Yes I had Charles Lancaster build me a 375 and it’s an absolutely stunning rifle. In my opinion well surpasses the quality of the Rigbys of modern times.

How about Keith D Thomas or Lancaster both would do it. Lancaster just did a great job on a take down 375 for me..

Managed to pick up 1500 for my 470 nitro project… Very keen to get a lot of 300gn hd 375 in but they don’t seem to be selling those just yet

With the volume, they have allegedly taken, orders for I’d be surprised if there was enough talent in the uk gun trade to be able to produce them in the quoted timescales…

Tough question. I’ve hunted a lot of them on that list - I’ll be missing three or four of them by the end of this year. I lived for foot hunting of tahr and I’d place that as the most iconic - but of course you can hunt them elsewhere in the world. Most enjoyable was probably last years water...

At least Woodleigh have started turning out projectiles for the 425 again..

I’ve got the same thoughts. Even harder to get stuff in NZ. Do I go an easier route and get a 404j or do I go for the 425…

Would you recommend one over a 404j ? Thinking about another buff rifle when my 470 has been completed and I can’t choose between a 404j and a 425. Thank you

Just had similar excellent service with them. Their courier company managed to not believe my address was real and sat on a parcel for quite some time. WR were excellent at following up and getting it delivered.

Grant is great. Just got 1000 woodleighs for a 470 from him via a friend. Just wish he’d have some 375 300gn hd in soon

I’ve heard great things about them from several friends. Would love to see them in the flesh. That 425 I saw he’d made is here….

Not for Australia but Keith Thomas can build them. UK based but I know he just exported a 577 Rewa and a 600 nitro to Darwin.

Drat I’m there for a hunt four weeks later. Would have loved to go

If they took 78 orders at last years show's and i'm assuming a lot at this years (so far) when they had the prototype then I'm guessint that the wait time must be bumping out quite a lot... There just aren't that many working in the UK who can produce a quality double are there? Did anyone who...

I’m doing the same with him for 2025. He’s a top bloke and I’m keen to see as many different areas of the top end as possible
