John Hutton stocked this M-54 somewhere between 1936 - 1940. Hutton was a stockmaker for Griffin& Howe and then later worked for National Target owned by Townsend Whelen and was known to have built stocks for Whelen.
This rifle is a .257 Roberts as built by Winchester and later custom barreled. The rifle features a very desirable 4X Noske Scope and detachable Noske mount.
The stock is English walnut with lots of figure, color and finely checkered. The barrel is 26” and the rifle weighs 91/2 lbs.
All the metal is nicely rust blued with vintage style steel grip cap and checkered buttplate and the rifle is in overall excellent condition.
