Description:
**Sold Pending Funds**John Hutton stocked this M-54 somewhere between 1936 - 1940. Hutton was a stockmaker for Griffin& Howe and then later worked for National Target owned by Townsend Whelen and was known to have built stocks for Whelen.
 
This rifle is a .257 Roberts as built by Winchester and later custom barreled. The rifle features a very desirable 4X Noske Scope and detachable Noske mount.
 
The stock is English walnut with lots of figure, and color, finely checkered with horn forend tip. The barrel is 26” and the rifle weighs 9 1/2 lbs.
All the metal is nicely rust blued with vintage style steel grip cap and checkered buttplate and the rifle is in overall excellent condition.
 
John Hutton is featured in a chapter in Michael Petrov’s Custom Gunmakers Volume Two Petrov comments that Hutton’s, “workmanship was superb”. The stock of this rifle is stamped HUTTON  under the action with the same stamp as shown in Petrov's book.
