Ronald Wharton 300 H&H

[PCC600]

I purchased this rifle at auction in March last year and have finally got it into Australia and taken possession . It is a 300 H&H magnum . It was made by the late Ronald Wharton in his shop located at 100 St Martin’s Lane London in 1989. Action is an original Mauser with 26 inch barrel. There is a folding front site protector and H&H style quick detachable scope mounts. I have 180 grain bullets and brass and will work up some rounds . Looking forward to taking it out for some pigs .

Great rifle maker, I have a Ron Wharton Takedown in 7x57. He made super rifles and his H&H mounts are a work of art.

They certainly make wildebeest and eland pay attention!

What a stunning rifle, congratulations, it must have taken some red tape to get it here!!!
You will love the calibre, I have a Ruger No1 in 300H&H, just a joy to shoot.

Yes there were a few hiccups . It came with a bundle of other firearms ( not all mine ) and it took longer than expected to get all the weapons together . Then got knocked back by the police in Queensland when I tried to get it registered . Got it sorted out in the end . And yes it really is a very nice rifle . Wharton made quite a few 300 H&H rifles but I think this is the nicest he made in that calibre . Looking forward to hunting with it .
