Just received this email from Bob Beach at Griffin and Howe.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I reviewed your photos today with Paul Chapman and Paul said that while your custom rifle appears to be beautifully made, it is not a product of Griffin & Howe. After considering the shape of the forearm, the cheekrest, th style of checkering, the grip cap, etc., Paul thinks that it may have been made by Al Biesen or, perhaps, S.A. Leonard, or Leonard & Hyde. Unfortunately, the man who could best identify the rifle passed away earlier this year. That man would be Michael Petrov. BTW, Many of Mr. Petrov's firearms are going up for auction tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday at Amoskeag Auctions in Manchester, New Hampshire. Here is a link if you would like to have a look.

I'm sorry that we don't have more information or something definite for you. Thank you for the inquiry.

Beautiful rifle and I wish you luck with the sale.The reply you received from Mr.Beach with information that it could be the product of either of two legendary stock makers should increase the interest.
The information about the passing of Michael Petrov saddened me. I had sent him a PM re his latest book and never received a reply. This answers why.If this news was posted on the fire I missed it. Again wish you success with the sale.

Still available!

Will consider trades(full or partial) for USGI 1911/1911A1s, Colt SP-1s, HK91s, and FN FALs.

Now $4000 with the scope or $3500 without it.

The perfect Christmas gift for the ol' lady guys. She might even let you shoot it!

Now $3000 with the scope, $2500 without!

Now $2500 for the rifle and scope!

Wow. This is a good price for a Winchester target rife, and a great price for a Griffin & Howe. About 1/2 price for G & H I'd say. Free bump for some free rifle.

Price lowered one last time to $2150 shipped.

Last call!

This is a great deal. Not only a Winchester target rifle but a G & H at that.

Bump for the savvy buyer, and a most reasonable seller.

Another example of fantastic reading comprehension all the way around.

Should I assume you're screwing up ismith's rifle ad is somehow due to your little mind not encompassing a transaction could still originate from here? You are a dull one.

This remains a great deal. I'm taking my 06 Winchester target rifle, and my 06 G& H out shooting today. Will report back, but they both routinely print very small groups.

Haha, he is poking fun of people that insist on calling this a G&H rifle when the seller himself posted the correspondence from G&H stating it isn't one of theirs.

You see, when you make comments that demonstrate you didn't read the post, many find that funny.

And when you double down and accuse others of being 'dull', well, a bunch more find that really funny.

You're as dull as steelhead. Haha. Trust me, that's an insult. Haha. It seems to me you're right about the G&H letter. I don't re-read the thread each time I look at one, but now that you mention it I do seem to remember that. Haha. You have somehow managed to over look one of the better possibilities... a failure to remember; how funny's that. Hahaha.
For anyone that isn't haha happy with steelhead, ismith has a really good gun, at a really good price. It deserves a lot more interest than it has gotten. Shot my Winchester target rifle today. Shot 3 1/2 -3/4" five shot groups, each a different load. How many guns you got that will do that duckear? Haha?

You're the type of retard that other retards point to and say 'By God, there goes a retard'

It's never not funny
