Westley Richards Take Down 30-06

[Frederik Badenhorst]

Hi guys

Wanted to share my latest find with you guys.
I just bought it today and will probably only be in my hands in a few weeks.
If anyone can give any info on the scope mounting system I would be much obliged.
After a brief search the only thing I can find on the internet so far is that it is called the WR "special" attachment.

Cheers

NICE!!! And in a very useful and available chambering.

There's one for sale right now on gunsinternational.com in .318 accelerated express that looks a lot like yours but it's not a take down.

New England Custom Guns may be able to help you with the scope mounts.

Mmm, getting rings sorted for that rifle could end up getting spendy. I had the same dilemma with an old Rigby 275. It came with the original scope, integral rings and bases.
Needless to say things have moved on in the world of optics. I found a gunsmith in the U.K. who would undertake the work. At £3200 I politely declined !

It seems like the 30-06 calibre was a bit of a rarity for the manufacturer in that prewar era

nice rifle good luck on rings. I had a H&H and tried to get some of the one mentioned above to make me a set of rings either they wouldn’t or one said 2 yrs and $3500 can’t remember which ones said which.
