I’ve bought two higher end shotguns over the years from WLM and spoken with them on numerous occasions. They are in my opinion one of the absolute best dealers in the US and of unimpeachable integrity. The HW rifle came through as part of a much larger consignment and I think it could have been...

I called on the Gibbs and about an hour before someone had agreed to purchase. From an investment standpoint I wonder how the H&Ws will do once the current makers pass and they fade a little from the then collective conscience? Twenty or thirty years from now? I suppose similar guesses could be...

Update: I called Lon Paul today and he remembered this rifle from the auction. He’s a wealth of knowledge and we must’ve spent 45 minutes talking about the 425s and related topics. Unfortunately he’s also got a pile of work ahead of him and I’d be looking at years not months for a rebarrel. I...

Gentlemen thanks to each of you. The thoughtful replies are very much appreciated. I emailed WR UK yesterday and had a reply waiting when I woke up this morning. They are backlogged 4 years and not taking on rebarrel services at this time which is understandable. Per my earlier post, I’m going...

Hi everyone, I won this rifle at auction last year and am just now getting around to posting pics. I hope you all find it interesting and worthy of sharing. It’s a .425 Westley Richards made in 1928 and delivered to a W.J. Miolee in Bulawayo. The factory ledger doesn’t list barrel length but...

Just wanted to add that I received the oak and leather double rifle case. It is absolutely better than described and I’m ecstatic with it. Out of the many purchases I’ve made over the internet this is quite likely the best overall experience. rookhawk, can’t thank you enough and will happily do...

Hi, looking to purchase a excellent condition Blaser R8 Professional stock with the removal trigger/magazine insert its standard or semi weight inlet, prefer green. If you have one I also need a right-handed bolt housing and a 375 barrel (ideally standard contour). Please let me know if you...

Put me down for the R8 Professional in 375!

All true! Just have a bunch of 30 cal bullets. GLWS

Nice! I’m looking to get my first Blaser—ideally want green Professional stock and standard contour 375 and 300 WM barrels. This 7mm could certainly stand in for the 300WM!

Having had a few iterations of the Winchester Model 70 .375, I think the Alaskan is my favorite. So many .375s are overweight—by the time they’re scoped they end up 10 plus pounds. About 15 years ago I stumbled onto a pre 64 Alaskan .375 with Lyman aperture sight. My dad had just bought a CZ...

I Rick, I’ll buy this at your ask of $1500 shipped. I’ll send you a message in a min. Thanks Bill

Thanks all. To update I purchased the 375 Alaskan from the pawn shop in Spokane that Cpt Munro kindly steered me to. I look forward to getting it and will report back with a review.

Thank you sir. I placed a call and waiting for them to open.

Having trouble finding one. As ad states I’d like to buy a Portuguese Winchester M70 375 Alaskan. Please let me know if you have one or know of one for sale. Thanks, Bill

Spike was right on in his comments about a lot of the 275s being built for ladies of the day. I can’t believe the super fast reply I got from Rigby’s—here follows the ledger records they provided: We have now examined our ledgers for 5434 and find the following :- Rigby Rifle No. 5434...

I found some pictures of the WR 318 I used to own. Would love to have it back. Long lightweight barrel, trim stock (this was barreled action takedown model).

It’s great to see how appreciated these rifles are. The British gunmakers had an understanding of form and balance that hasn’t been exceeded. Some of the best handling rifles I’ve encountered have been the old BPE rifles and the later doubles and magazine rifles. In that group I’d also put the...

Hi Spike, Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t sure if the original records survived. I’ve followed your advice and emailed them and will post back with what I learn.

Thanks for the comments. I’m fortunate to be the custodian of this fine rifle. I lucked into it a couple of years ago when I was visiting George Caswell at Champlin’s. He had just gotten it in but hadn’t listed it yet and I made a deal for it. I have some of the history he provided but can’t...

I traded my 505 Gibbs off and am selling my inventory of ammo. This is new Nosler Custom Safari 525gr solids made I believe by Norma as the boxes are marked made in Sweden to my recollection. All the same lot number. Beautiful nickel cases in black velveteen lined boxes. This is nice stuff...

5/26/20:both rifles are pending trade. Thanks for the interest

I just bought one of his rifles in 404 Jeffery (still showing up under New rifles available now. Rifle is unfired (and for sale). Pattern is excellent with English style open grip and seems absolutely solid as a rock. I have a McMillan McWoody on a Ruger Alaskan and this appears every bit as good

Explorer 2

So not sure what happened. Picture 1 is junk and picture 3 is someone else’s Royal. I saved it to compare the engraving on mine to it. The others are of my rifle

Not for sale, just sharing pics—this is the 500/465 Have dies but need to get other components so I can start loading. Graham Wright’s book is indispensable

No, not a dealer. I have a 2 and 4 year old and work a lot. I don’t have much time to be on internet forums. I keep my mouth shut and ears open and try to learn what I can. If I have something meaningful to add or a legitimate question I will but as I have never been to Africa and this is an...

New prices: 505 Gibbs $15,000 alone or 15,800 with ammo 404 Jeffery $5000 ($995 off absolutely new rifle as purchased a few months ago from Wayne at AHR). Thanks everyone. George Caswell at Champlin Arms inspected the 505 yesterday and advised me that he would list it at $20k if I were to...
