Having had a variety of gunsmithing operations carried out by Griffin & Howe, I have never doubted that the money was well spent.
Several years ago, I treated a sporterized military Mauser with no market value, but great sentimental value as when I purchased it as a grad student in the mid 1960's it was the best I could afford, to a G&H rust blue. It was treated as if it were a British best. The guard screws, for example, were fitted with custom made shims so that their slots were perfectly aligned with the center line of the bore when tightened. Given this type of attention to detail, Griffin & Howe prices are extremely reasonable.
The Griffin & Howe side mount is a classic in and of itself. Combined with a removable Lyman 48 or similar receiver sight, it's about as good as it gets. Even better if the Lyman 48 is stored in a steel trap butt plate.
