I was having a conversation with @Mark458 this week, and believe it or not we were discussing upcoming trips and what rifles we would take on them. That got me thinking. I have several rifles that I feel just NEED to be hunted with in Africa. I have a couple of Huskqvarna mausers (6.5x55 and a 9.3x62), my Lipseys No.1 in .275 Rigby, my two pre 64 M70' in 375 and 300 HH, my Ruger RSM in .375, and my list goes on.

Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

They wanted rifles capable of competing on the range, stalking game across the veld, and accompanying them into the African interior. Supplying these men required...

G'day all,

I am in the process of planning a 9.3x62 build, and I was planning on making up a set of Westley Richards inspired front and rear sights.

I was going to make a thread requesting some measurements from any Westley Richards owners to make sure I got the proportions right, but I figured that was limiting the opportunity to gather some data and inspiration that I might have missed otherwise.
