Description:

This Griffin & Howe rifle was built on an early Remington 721 action marked "114660" on the left side. "No. 2079 GRIFFIN & HOWE INC. NEW YORK" is marked on the barrel on top. The caliber designation "CAL 270" is marked on the upper left near the breech above "C W W". If the latter is a Remington barrel code, the rifle would date to April 1950. The front receiver ring is stippled, and the bolt knob and front of the floor plate are checkered. It has a beaded blade front sight on a stippled ramp with a hood, and a Lyman peep sight base and base of a Griffin & Howe quick release scope are mount on the left. The receiver is also tapped for scope mounting. It is fitted on a pistol grip stock with multi-point checkering, an ebony forend cap, blued steel grip cap, sling swivel studs, unmarked initial oval, shadow-line cheekpiece, and a leather wrapped recoil pad. The bolt and magazine follower are jeweled.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally custom built. 95% plus of the blue finish remains with some slight fading, some scratches on the handle and trigger, and some overall light handling marks. The bolt and follower remain mostly bright with a couple patches of light spotting and some minor cycling wear. The stock is excellent with sharp checkering, a few minor dings and faint scratches, and some minor wear on the recoil pad. The action is excellent, and the markings are crisp.
