Seeking- Westley Richards .318 Express Anyone?

Looking to round out my collection (or at least addd to it). I have WR in both .375 H&H and .425WR, the .318 seems like an ideal addition.

Cooper Model 52 in 35 Whelen, unfired $4,000

I have a new Cooper in 35 Whelen purchased earlier this year that I am sure that I will never shoot. I need the room for other rifles.

I took this rifle out of the box, put it in a sock and put it in a safe. Outside of the factory, it has never been fired. It comes with a thread protector as well as the muzzle brake.

$4,000 shipped from my FFL to your FFL

This is a significant discount from what I paid.

Let me know of interest
