Nice rifle, but it sems peculiar that it is fitted with a composition buttplate, when all pre-War Model 70's (and most pre-64's) were fitted with steel buttplates. What is the length of pull?

Again if I haven't conveyed it enough, I want you to know how much I appreciate(d) the help you gave me with my 1933 G&H 03 Sporter! I finally got it sorted out and it looks like the day it left their shop, at least as far as the Zeiss Zielklein scope and early G&H mount goes! As regards this rifle, I was aware the buttplate was not correct, the G&H mount was not mounted by them [screws show] and the stock finish texture and certainly COLOR is not right, but to tell you the truth I always thought the factory guns, were rather plain [Supergrade being the exception]. I didn't want a mint original example, I couldn't use without worrying about value, and I already had a Model 70 Sporter built by G&H. What I wanted was a Pre-war example in pristine, not
original condition for hunting. Given the costs nowadays, I could not begin to duplicate this rifle for anywhere near, what I paid for it. You would also be surprised at how few Pre War guns I have located were 270 WCF and that, was non-negotiable. All in all if you look at the cost of the scope and mount, I paid $550 for the rifle. Now if it shoots half as good as it looks, I'll be in HIGH COTTON! Warmest Regards Jerry
