It is always nice to get the finished guns and rifles in front of the camera and send the clients some pictures of the guns or rifles they have been waiting so patiently for. They can finally see the wood in all its glory and their order as a whole. This week we completed these 3 rifles and a single 28g gun and I managed to photograph them without scratching them!
 The same guns with a selection of gunmakers tools.
 A Westley Richards Bolt Action dangerous game rifle in the mighty .505 Gibbs. This plain finish rifle is made for the African bush and many adventures.
This Westley Richards .375 Bolt Action rifle is also in a plain finish and ready now for the bush or wherever the hunting will take it.

Dear Simon
As one of the 3 lucky persons who have been fortunate enough to receive a picture,it almost brings tears to my eyes.So unbelievable beautiful made that I don't really have the ability to explain what I feel in English .Came to think about it, the tears may reappear after a couple of boxes at the range but I can live with that ...
A really big thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Best regards
Peter

Thank you! I use a Leica S 007 system. The James Bond of cameras!
Larry on March 11, 2016 at 7:10 am
Most of the look is due to the brilliant, on-staff photographer!!
Jonathan Tomlinson on March 11, 2016 at 6:51 am
Naturally - a superb camera for a super subject matter
Larry on March 11, 2016 at 7:11 am
All of these guns are stunning! Thought, being impartial to bolt rifles, I especially love the cased 375!

It is very encouraging to see these new guns and rifles as they are finished and ready for delivery. It encourages one in believing that the 'sporting life' and a love of fine yet useful and practical guns and rifles is alive and well. I see it as investment that folks are making in a 'love of sport'. I know that is my view and my feelings. This is I guess, our look, at the modern day digital "ledger". If we could have only seen pictures of Burger, Bell, Corbett, Sutherland, and the lot as they picked up their new rifles bound for places we dream of. I am sure it is rewarding to fulfill the desires of the clients. That can't be bought.
