For the Big Game Hunter, A Great Value Sidelock .470 Double Rifle.

A fact of gunmaking life is that a makers name makes a difference. It always has and I imagine always will. The name or brand will be reflected in the price and we have all seen guns and rifles that don't live up to either their name and the price asked. This particular rifle I believe lives up to both.

470 Double Rifle

For the hunter who wants a good looking rifle, made very well in England and South Africa by maker B. Laubscher, here is what is in my opinion is a very good value .470 sidelock double rifle, built by what must be South Africa's most respected makers. We at Westley Richards finished the rifle for our client a few years ago and our contribution was regulating, UK proof, case hardening, shaping of stock and the overall finish, namely the stock finish, blacking and coin finish. The rifle has not been out of the factory since, so is 'as new and unfired'.

Built on a English machined H&H style reinforced action, with chopper lump barrels and everything else you would expect from a best rifle, this 24" barrel, 14 3/4" stock rifle is itching to go on a hunt!

For further details please contact me by email. Simon.

    Beautiful rifle, but what about the belt?

      The belt is the first sample we made of the vintage belt I have used in previous photographs. It is a utility belt that I like very much and will be offering soon.
