G&H and Bob Owen Springfield's are to my eye the best of all of that era's custom rifles.Years ago Kittery Trading post had a bunch of G&H sporters...regular rifles, one carbine and the one that I wanted badly was a 400 Whelen, Wonderful wood, usual horn forend, Lyman peep and all the usual G&H stuff but without the side mount. The barrel was 1/4 octagon 3/4 Round with integral rib and front sight. Had the original dies and some brass. just an exception example of their work. It was the late 1980's and they wanted $1800. Sat there for months and they marked it down to $1200. Could not make myself buy it as that was a lot of money to me back then. Terrible decision!
