WESTLEY RICHARDS .275 BOLT ACTION STALKING RIFLE.

Coming out of the workshop today is a very nice early Westley Richards stalking rifle in .7mm Mauser. The rifle is built on an Oberndorf commercial short action which makes for a very nice light rifle in this calibre. The rifle is in it's original full leather case and has been fitted with a Zeiss 6 x 42 telescope on EAW pivot mounts. I am very tempted to keep this one as Trigger sold my very similar rifle which was the first rifle I used in Africa! I have no doubt though that you will find it on the used gun site tomorrow with a very attractive price! The only work we have done in the factory is check over, clean, replaced the trigger and polished the stock. A couple more photographs here. The rifle sold the following day, so never made it to the used gun site! SC 7th Sept.

I have a very similar rifle serial number 35870 and although I know you do not have the original ledgers for that period, I would like to know if it would have been regulated for the heavier 7mm rounds originally.
Also if its not too cheeky what was the price guide on the above rifle.
Many thanks in advance.
