I have an acquaintance in The Yukon who ordered a .577 double rifle from WR about three months ago. He told me it was the first .577 order WR had received in a very long time. He too is going over to Africa to hunt elephants although he has not yet picked the specific country. Personally, I think WR guns are right there with the best London guns and priced almost one half than a comparable "best" gun.
