Westley overunder .375 flanged magnum
gunsamerica.com 976731491. Splendid looking, mint bores, scoped, reasonable 20,900.
Too heavy for me though at 10 lbs. 10 oz.

it's a redo of a 375x2.5", and the engraving was added when it was reincarnated...best I can tell

It was re-bored, re-chambered, and re-proved from .35 Winchester in 1986. It was probably restocked at the same time.

Mike Schwandt in Wisconsin has one on his site, don't know if it is the same gun?? I did see one as described above up in Virginia with a private owner several years ago...proof marks were a mess!! In most small action doubles, either 375 2 1/2 or even a 35 Win...it is generally a dangerous conversion...the 375 Flanged Mag is a big game thumper with all of the related pressures...not a 30-30 relative!! Beware!!
