Brent, i have no way of knowing if the gun was originally built with the scope, or if it was added later, but I suspect it was original. Noske used a Hutton built rifle in his adds so there may have been some connection there. When I mount the gun I am comfortably looking through the center of the scope.

Tom, it has a Winchester buttplate as did the Hutton Michael had I think.

Brent, I do not know anything about it's history, but suspect it spent a lot of time in the gun rack. Still has the star gauged Springfield Armory barrel.

8bore, I have heard the connection to Shenandoah Guns before.
