A few months back, I ran across a rifle that looks similar to a 1903 Springfield Heavy Barrel target rifle, but purported to have a 28" barrel installed by Griffin and Howe. I threw in a bid and won the rifle.

The stock is obviously different than a Springfield target stock and kind of looks like it could be a G&H stock.





I've looked for any information available about Griffin and Howe heavy barrel target rifles and didn't come up with much. When it arrived, I found that it indeed was a Griffin and Howe rifle in 30.06.

The bore is very good...shiny, sharp and the muzzle measures "0" on the CMP muzzle gauge. The bluing is excellent.

The barrel is marked "Griffin and Howe Inc New York"



And "30.06 Gov"



Bolt had striker modified and the bolt handle is marked "J5"





Stock has interesting grain
