A New Westley Richards .505 Take Down Rifle.
We completed this .505 take down this week which is heading down to a client in South Africa. This rifle is specified for big game hunting with a 'no frills' approach. Strong straight grained figured wood with blacked parts with makers name only engraved. All the very best functional features of a Westley Richards, no decoration!

Nice, very nice indeed. A good practical tool.

Dear Simon
Congratulations to another really beautiful rifle. Like you said sometimes less is more and with the unequalled lines on Westley guns it just doesn’t get any better. I must ask you -the cartridge belt is it a one off or is it something that you produce regularly, it would be perfect for me as I only would have to fill it one time and then hunt happily for years to come.
Best regards
Peter

Beautiful rifle with a lovely piece of wood. Working rifles with little embellishment have a very special appeal of their own and this one is very appealing, in a great caliber too.

It is a belt I had made for myself for a hunt one year. It is not something that we normally make in this style but we can of course do so if you would like one!

Simon,a few years back you and the guys built me a lovely take-down in .375.
Ease of transportation and simplicity were my motivating factors.Did this particular client articulate his reasons?Mere curiosity on my part.
