In Cabelas Wheeling store friday evening. Saw they had a Westley Richards 318 . Price was $6299. What would the real world value be. Just curious.

WITH out a description hard to say 6K is on the cheap side

The Newtons LTD Nairobi BE Africa stamp is very cool. Would think you could get plenty of info from Westley Richards on it.

I think the pictures on the Cabelas web sight make the gun look a little better than it really is.

Cabelas used gun section I have always found to be overpriced.Moot point as I sold Ritch my dies a few years ago.

I ran into an old invoice from Kenya Bunduki in Nairobi the other day. There were six .318 Westley Richards rifles listed on it, five by Westley Richards and one by Jeffrey. The most any of them cost was 800 K/S. The exchange rate for the Kenya shilling at the time was seven to one, so the 800 K/S represented an investment of $114.29. Granted, that was almost fifty years ago and the rifles were for the most part in pretty rough condition, but still, that's quite an appreciation in investment for whoever bought the particular rifle that Cabelas in trying to sell, which looks as though it had been around the block as well, and then refinished.

Len Bull was manager of the store, and he gave me free access to his gun vault. I was buying rifles for a projected retail store, which took shape shortly afterwards.
