Re: A Safari with Westley Richards
Dear friends,
Thank you all for your very kind words.It gives me great pleasure that you enjoy the experience and that's what I want to do,share with you.
@ Navi- Surely when you come over and I am here,shall be a pleasure to go visiting these places.AA Brown is also in Birmingham and though much smaller a firm-Just Robin Brown and his assistants- they produce some very fine guns.
@CC, Imagine what it must have been for me to hold them in my hands and let the go! That .416 Rigby and that .577 HH.Not to speak of the wonderful shotguns.
@Tim, If they could let me- in my tattered sneakers and five pound Tesco jacket-into one of the hallowed shrines of bespoke gun making,no doubt they would welcome you.
@Ashar, I already put up posts on H&H,Purdey,Beretta,Boss etc. Check these links out

@Winnie, Sure one day.Till then plinking in my home range
Thank you all once again.
Best-
Vikram

Re: A Safari with Westley Richards
Hi Vikram,
Thats a fantastic tour provided by you. You have changed the concept of London tourisum for people like us. Earlier, if we planned for a trip to London, the common places to visit would be, London Eye, Madam Tussads, Big Ben, Buckhingam Palace. after your post the Priority list is,
1) Westley and Richards
2) H&H
3) Berretta
4) Boss
Mainly only gun shops.
Once again thanks for such a mouth watering trip. I hope to see your next trip soon.
Ravi.

Vikram,
Indeed a very rich experience!... I really appreciate the report.
Thank you!
Now who's volunteering to visit Monghir Jail for another report?
