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.....

Tables with assorted bits and pieces of wonderful WR memorabilia, including actions, barrels, engraving stamps that were used for pamphlets, etc.

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.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
