Over forty years ago I owned a Griffin & Howe 54 in 7x57 with a gorgeous Circassian stock and a factory stainless steel barrel, quite uncommon. No scope, a Lyman 48 receiver sight. I was handloading in those days, used someone's 175 grain boattail spitzer softpoint, took the rifle to Anticosti Island in the mouth of the St. Lawrence and killed two big bucks with it. Wish I still had it.
