A Used, Cased, Westley Richards .375 Take Down Rifle - A Rare Opportunity to Acquire One of Our Recent Take Down Model Rifles.

This is the first of our modern take down rifles that I have noticed come to the market. A package we produced in 2010 for a client who was a regular African and worldwide hunter. The rifle has made some trips and has the knocks and bruises to tell the stories which I am not going to remove at this point in time. People have different opinions, some like their rifles immaculate and clean whilst others relish the patina gained by use in the field. I tend to fall into the latter category myself and will leave the final decision to the person who first feels he can't live without it!

Mechanically totally sound, the rifle will be fully serviced, shot and tested. The only work decisions to be made are the refurbishment of the stock and blacking of parts. The Westley Richards bespoke case is a later addition and was made 2 years ago and is in immaculate condition, I also feel these canvas and leather cases are the most appropriate for this type of 'working and travelling' rifle.

  It was there from new. We fit that often for uk owners as they also take a bipod attachment as well as sling.
  Nice to hear from you!!
