I just picked up an early Whitworth 3 days ago and it is older model and it is beautiful and I love the sights and the hood. Definitely higher quality fixtures! Ask for Mark, at New England Custom Gun Parts, he will have what you need. Good luck!

Mine is from 88. I would have loved to get an early example like you 2, but the price was right and it was the Safari configuration. I have always wanted a bolt gun with Safari style Isand Sights and have wanted a 375 for some time. Maybe some day it will make it to Africa.

That’s a fantastic pic.

I’m picking up some Woodleigh 300s to play with. Should be a fun summer.

I bought mine from the original owner, and I think it is a early 70's. It has really nice wood, no gaps in the checkering like the newer models, and the bluing is really lustrous. And etched on the top of the barrel "Whitworth Rifle Company" Also the action has none of the usual slop. It is a fine gun. It had that early redfield 1-4x I just sold yesterday on here, but in the process, I snapped the screw off the rear base. I guess after over 50years on it, heating it didn't work. It is at the smith now getting the screw out. I ordered talley signature bases for it, and I have a set of case hardened qd talley rings and a swarovski z6i 1-6 that is going on it. I will send pics when I get it finshed. Hope to whack a leopard and an Eland with it... lol

Please post pics when you get it sorted by your gunsmith.

My Whitworth. 458 is the best handling rifle I own; it just fits me.
