Visitors to the 2022 Safari Club International convention in Las Vegas this week will see the Westley Richards stand, prominent among the outfitter's booths and proudly flying the flag for British gunmaking. Manning the stand will be the Westley Richards United States representative, L.D. McCaa.
SCI will, we anticipate, further advance our presence in the US, building on a very successful Dallas Safari Club event. Visitors and customers were refreshingly optimistic and positive about the year ahead and orders were taken. The event was a success for all who attended and the resilience, fortitude and love of our sport and lifestyle displayed by exhibitors and attendees was gratifying to witness and be a part of.
