Manufactured in 1953 (receiver). With a beaded blade on a stippled ramp front and flip up adjustable rear sight. The barrel is marked "NO. 2605 GRIFFIN & HOWE INC., NEW YORK, N.Y." followed by "CAL 308" on the left side near the breech. The receiver has been drilled, tapped and fitted with scope blocks and a Weaver K3-1 scope on quick release rings. The bolt, extractor and floor plate have been brilliantly jeweled with fine knurling on the handle. Mounted on a multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with ebony forend tip, sling swivel studs, blue steel grip cap, raised cheekpiece, and a solid rubber recoil pad. The under side of the buttstock features an inset initial oval inscribed with "RM".

Very good as professionally refinished by Griffin & Howe with 95% plus blue remaining showing small areas of light spotting, small dings and evidence of extremely light pitting on the floor plate that has been cleaned and blued. The wood is very good with scattered light scratches, small indentations and a 1 3/4 inch long blemish on the right side of the buttstock.
