Description: Griffin & Howe started their company in 1923 to produce custom sporting rifles based on Springfield actions. Inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's exploits in Africa with a sporterized 1903 Springfield, custom cabinet-maker Seymour Griffin re-stocked his own rifle and began to offer this service for others. In 1923, none other than Col. Townsend Whelen, commander of the Franklin Arsenal, suggested James V. Howe, the foreman of the Arsenal, would greatly improve Griffin's budding custom rifle business. They later made custom rifles based on other actions and enjoyed a reputation for making products of the finest quality with Gary Cooper, Ernest Hemingway, Clark Gable and Jack O'Connor among their customers. This is a beautiful example of a Griffin & Howe sporting rifle built on a Mauser 98 receiver. This example is from 1946. The receiver has been equipped with a nice Lyman receiver sight. Finish is very nice with rifle showing wear not consistent with age. .270 Winchester Price: $4,499.99 Metal Condition: good Wood Condition: good Bore Condition: bright Barrels: 22" barrel Stock Dimensions: 14.5 Fore End: checkered wood Butt Pad: rubber Weight: 7 lb - 10 oz Sights: "factory front sight, Lyman rear sight Item Location: La Vista, NE |
