Not really. These rifles are just the regular guns Westley Richards & several other English makers like Rigby, Holland & Holland and Purdy makes.
They do have slightly better wood than normal guns, however they make what the customer wants.
This is the finish I call a piano finish and it can be produced in any walnut, beech, cherry, fruit-wood or maple stock.
These are high-end guns for sure, but the finish is the same on all their rifles & shotguns, including bolt actioned rifles.

Except for the Francis Selous model Mauser by Rigby in .276 (7x57). It is finished in flat oil & not filled.

Nice work.
The blue makes your rifle pop. Not another one like it. I really like it.

Hi Biagio,

I changed the colour again to black. Wanting to use this gun for the FT combo match, I kept the iron sights on the gun. The scope was mounted with SportMatch adjustable rings.

This gun is accurate and smooth with Jim Maccari spring and TBT delrin spring guide and top hat. Rowen brass extra setback trigger blade made the length of pull more comfortable.

Thanks,

TomImage
