FAST996600 Nitro Westley Richards
I found some pix of a 600 Nitro on the web looks to be in the hands of a Thai collector.
A beautiful classic double from an era gone by.
Hope you enjoy the New Year...Double Eye Candy

Omnivorous_BobEither that picture has been photoshopped (look at "Her" right wrist) or "she" has the worst case of man-hands I've ever seen!

MacD37I don't care what kind of hands are holding that rifle, I just wish it was in my MAN HANDS!
As everyone here can attest, I hate the useless 600 NE cartridge, but I'd love to own that one. First because it is a Westley Richards, and second because it was made for the INDIA market, and likely made for one of the royals!
On the down side, other than the chambering, It is broken, because one of the triggers is missing!

Jim Z.Beautiful piece. The rifle not her! Even though the writing under her picture says POONTANG sumthin' or other, but I like the gun. I wouldn't mind getting it in my man hands either.

RIP"She" has a nice left bicep and a flat chest too. Maybe she plans to sell the gun to pay for the sex-change surgery to finish the transformation?
Poor thing! Ultimately types such as "her" are never made happy by that. When she wakes up from the anesthesia with her pecker gone and minus the 600 NE too, she will really need a psychiatrist then! Bore Envy big time can be the only result.
I suggest counseling before either transaction with the gun or the pecker.

surestrikeI think I've seen "her" on a dark and misty night in Bangkok.
They usually have some unsuspecting barely post pubescent sailor on their arm. The poor kid thinks that they are about to get lucky.
Instead they are going to have a story that they can never tell for the rest of their lives...
