Hello ismith,
Thanks for the reply.
Not likely built by John. He sold lots and lots of barrels, but built very few rifles.

Great find on that rifle. Thanks for the photos and the follow up details on the history.

I just missed a Mauser John built for Bob Bell.
Sitting at a auction house waiting for the fund to start selling after the reloading stuff.
Inthe back of the room they started selling the rifles. Missed it!!!
It was a 338 WM. Still pizzed.
Bob wrote a Gun Digest article about John a few years ago. Bob also has the list of big game John shot. All in the Big Five. 250 total if I remember right.
Hello 257 X 50.
