NOW I think it was a steal!
Well, in the end what matters is that I think highly of the rifle! It arrived and is incredible. The photos do not do the rifle justice. They cannot convey the feel of this piece. It is slim and almost “dainty.” The photos don’t do not accurately illustrate the slender wrist and narrow forend. They do not truly show the expert stock work, seamless horn grip cap, fine checkering and overall spectacular custom feel of the rifle. It is as good as any Griffin and Howe piece that I have handled and is, as desired, a gorgeous and subtle example of custom gunsmithing and a premium deer rifle from the days of yore.
I have not one complaint or regret, I see the buggered screws and the mismatched scope mount. There is a small piece of wood well fit to the slot for the original peep sight. The recoil pad could be improved upon, but this rifle will proudly see some miles of Virginia Hardwoods this fall. --aesthetics aside, OH BOY DOES SHE SHOOT!
