What do you make of this one Mehul ?
Built by Westley Richards - but in the late 1920s.

Wow as a guy who has suddely fallen in love with bolt actions, I think this is really delicious looking.

Very interesting - a Mauser actioned 303. I have read that Mauser made a very small number of actions for this chambering. Did you buy it, Grumpy? I'm sure it would be a very valuable piece if sold in the US.

Cheers!

Nice!

The barrel looks unusually thick though. Was it primarily a paper puncher?

Any idea what this rifle weighs?
