We got to look over this rather fabulous Westley Richards Ovundo!
At first, I thought it was a bit odd, but after an hour spend filming with it - I was a big fan

It grew on me throughout the video. What's great about it is that it's unconventional, and it's a conversation piece as well as a work of art.

I looked after one for a client for over ten years and now I own it. At first I thought it was ugly but it grew on me. Now I love it and it certainly is a conversation piece.

@NickCargillable 2 года назад

Still an exciting maker. Get up to Birmingham and do a factory tour of Westleys, way closer than Italy!

@tgsoutdoors 2 года назад

That would be amazing

@DFox-ud3gx 2 года назад

The Holt's shotgun's are spot on made in England makes it priceless . These are my thoughts. This is one lovely gun I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The lines make it so beautiful... They rocked it back in the day .

I love these Holts videos. As someone just getting into shotgun shooting I'm learning a lot about different guns from them.

@chadnolte9134 2 года назад

Once again a great show of craftsmanship of something made with less high tech machinery. I look at these older guns and have a sense of amazement of the hours of hand tool work that was done. Like you said in a perfect world with tons of cash, I would buy that gun and then have them modernize a new version. I thing of Remington’s K32 that evolved to the Krieghoff K80’s or what John Browning had for tools and the creation he made. I am just amazed. Thanks for sharing guns and history that most of the shooting world will never know existed.

I love it. It makes me understand why some people get so attached to material things. Never have I wanted to own something so bad.

@johntozer8270 2 года назад

I was having trouble with rheumatics in my right hand when shooting with a pistol grip, it got painful after about 20 shots, then I came across a B25 B2G roach belly straight english stock and problem solved, probably the most comfortable gun I have shot

@redduc9523 2 года назад

It did grow on me, then I do love unconventional things. It would be interesting to see it with a different stock. Do love the work on the extension. Boy you get to play with some fun guns!

@jordanchastain6596 2 года назад

I know it would be a hard video to make but I would love a video talking about the rules about how those of us from other countries could buy and export guns from the Holts auctions, in the meantime keep up the great work love the holts videos!

@bitfreakazoid 2 года назад

Forgotten Weapons actually has a video on importing firearms from other countries.

@NarcisAdrianD 2 года назад

Very nice piece of art! It reminds me of my classic Gebruder Merkel Suhl. Nice video, John!

@douglasbell2448 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this video. Could you consider doing a video looking at all English O/U actions, through Edwinson Green to Boss and Purdey letting us see how they developed and what has survived and adopted by the modern gunmakers.

@tgsoutdoors 2 года назад

Funny you should say that…

@rob1399 2 года назад

I love how passionate this guy is.

@james-wb1jr Год назад

How interesting is this never seen one before if Westley Richards, winning back and freshened up the design I will definitely have one 😮

@mikeproctor3664 2 года назад

I presently own a Boss and a Purdey that has had the extension added and painted in. They look fantastic and you would never know.

@Blondejam 2 года назад

A good looking gun. As for design you had artisans working on 'modern' concepts that were used to stock designs to them that worked and what they were trained and expected to produce. It is a real cross over from traditional to semi modern and should be celebrated as so. Its a Wankel engine in a T model Ford and should be celebrated as. Good video as always and thank you for passing your enthusiasm and knowledge on to us folks!!! Thanks to Holt's as well for presenting a great site and commitment to our sport!!!

@jonpettet7085 2 года назад

Great to understand all this history and commentary you make on your videos,do learn alot 👍👏

@alphabetaxenonzzzcat 2 года назад

An amazing gun from an British company. Beautiful - with some modern features.

@ozein312 Год назад

Absolutely awesome content! Thank you for posting. I love W Richards.

@whiteopdad4256 2 года назад

Really enjoy all your videos, they’re somehow soothing for me, and very informative.

@RockBandEclipse 2 года назад

Can you imagine being the first guy on your shoot turning up with an over and under. Great vid once again, keep em coming 👍

@tgsoutdoors 2 года назад

Imagine the first to bring an Auto….

@RockBandEclipse 2 года назад

Did that once! I was seen as Satan himself, into rock music, it didn't go down well.

@RockBandEclipse 2 года назад

Pre 1980

@rosserpace3602 2 года назад

I really enjoy the details, agree with you on the pistol grip.

@UnitedStatesOfGuns Год назад

Very fine video! Thank you!

@allenhughes12 2 года назад

It's a gorgeous shotgun. I love the checkering and stippling. For a poor man like me it's another daydream.

@tgsoutdoors 2 года назад

The chequering and stippling mix is very special

@patrickangier3919 2 года назад

It’s beautifully made. When it was built over and unders were a long from being mainstream, but a few makers were feeling their way. I am not sure about the stippling on the action / barrel join, but that is a matter of style rather than substance. I wonder how it handles and shoots. I suspect more like a merkel / suhl style with weight between the hands.

@sirrandolphnettleby3114 2 года назад

Have you thought of getting in contact with Westley Richards and asking for a tour of their factory.

@markwierzbicki5307 2 года назад

Another great video, and I would give it a home (if I had the money).

@thevoyageur2152 16 дней назад

Nice, I'd love to see you shoot a Paradox or Explora shotgun.

@simonreynolds9889 2 года назад

I like it Slightly quirky But people would stop and ask you about it .another great little clip by team TGS.

@rickyjeneson7857 2 года назад

Hi , I have a Winchester 101 super grade xtr.it has a straight hand stock and I love it. I use it for game and clays .It is as brand new condition.. I like the sleek lines of a straight hand stock. So would love to own that ovundo by Westley Richards.

@andrewandrews6881 2 года назад

Burning fingers from shallow forend? There is something about this gun that reminds me of an express rifle but can't put my finger on it...very interesting! Thank you!

@troystaten5633 2 года назад

Very different looking but beautifully done. It would be fun to shoot it and compare it to more modern guns. Have you ever considered doing a review of a Winchester model 21 and compare it to British doubles?

@graegor0884 2 года назад

might say London on the side but was made in Birmingham, where Westley Richards still are. It's a sad time as most of the original gun quarter that was still remaining has just been demolished. And don't get me started on no shooting at Birmingham Commonwealth Games :(

@felixd7818 2 года назад

Wonderful review of a rarely seen gun in the US. Love the music. Any chance you may review some French guns?

@THEADMIRALISIN 2 года назад

Always such great videos and quality editing/shooting/conversation. What is the background music? Specifically in the beginning of the video. The music always portrays such a “high-end” stately feeling and ambiance.

@seandouglas7546 2 года назад

I would be interested to see one with a prince of Wales style grip. Lovely gun either way.

@michelt4390 2 года назад

Looks like a SxS receiver, with a O/U barrel ? - I think it's nice

@snook1249 2 года назад

Thanks for this, very interesting 👍

@adambrown6007 2 года назад

Very nice gun not so unusual though, have a look at the Baretta S3 from 1953 similar lines no vented rib or centre bead. If I could afford it I would buy it. Cheers for the channel it's great.

@dgoodman1484 11 месяцев назад

After a few decades of killing game with vanilla cookie cutter firearms, eventually (for me at least) it becomes more about the experience and what enhances the experience more than using fine quality “interesting” guns. That is exceptionally interesting! Great eye btw, yes that definitely needs a fuller pistol grip esthetically 👍🏼

@clausgrimm 2 года назад

Surelly a magnificent piece…

@funkla65 2 года назад

Yeah, the SxS looking butt throws everything else a bit off. And it somehow manages to be deep AND wide. Still, it's an interesting design to look at. Given they went with the full-width hinge pin, and had all that space to do an underbite lockup, I have to wonder if they were trying to skate around some Browning patents with those rear hooks. People complain about the rearward projections on Greeners; those hooks look even more wicked.

The correct Serial No for your Pistol is (989). NOT (686) You were holding it upside down. The number eight always has the larger circle at the bottom, as you must know, also the two nines look slightly more curved than a six. Regards Alan Edis- Burton. Fine detail specialist.

The gentleman building my muzzleloader has been working on a rusty nail stain. What do I think? I don't have enough bloody money. 😉

There is definitely method to that gun maker's madness.

@tgsoutdoors 2 года назад

100%

@billhatcher2984 2 года назад

To me it looks like someone removed a pistol grip and botched it and then did a good job adding the length

@giovanegreganich5766 2 года назад

Hi,what do you think of the shotgun beretta S56E gauge 20,barrels 68 cm??
