I have almost the identical G&H Mauser 30/06 that TLEE is talking about, except mine is a 1938 vintage. My rifle came out of a collection of rifles owned by General Peacock. I don't think he is that well known to the public, but he is supposed to have an extremely nice gun collection.

Griffin & Howe rifles are/were made to the highest possible standards. I would say that they are sort of the US equivalent in rifles to Holland & Holland, Westley Richards, etc. G&H rifles today can cost $15k and up.

I used to live about 15min from the Bernardsville store and really enjoyed spending time there. G&H is one of the last classic era gun makers left in this country. If you happen to see the book "Hemingway's Guns", a G&H 30/06 is on the cover, it was an early Springfield action. He had a few other G&H guns over the years as well. Their archives are filled with famous people, they were the go-to gun shop for the rich and famous.

A lot of the value of G&H guns is based upon the amount of engraving...and who did it. If you have a "basic" rifle with no engraving, with a M70 action, in 375H&H, you are looking about $6000 - $7000 retail, if is in great condition.

I use my G&H as my main rifle, it shoots 1" groups all day. Someone asked me why I bought that rifle when I could have bought a brand new Dakota for the same price (about $5500 at the tiem). I told them that if we are going to compare the two rifles, I would need to spend over $10k to get the same rifle from Dakota.

would think that may make it more desirable since you could shoot both .375 H&H, fire-forming the brass for reloading, and shoot the flatter shooting 1,000 ft, lbs. greater .375 WBY. factory ammo or custom loads when needed?

WoW! Where did you get this from...no mention for the .375 (or any) Weatherby
what does that mean? Did G&H re-barrel this for the caliber as a special request for a customer? does it diminish the value?

Back in 1971 I made an inquiry to Griffin & Howe about having a 7 x57 made. I was young, they told me at the time plan on about 1000 dollars or a tad more. But the time I figured out what I wanted the bill would have been around 1800 dollars, You could buy a new car for that, then. I didn't do it even thou I had the money, my mom talked me out of it. It would be worth a good chunk of money today no doubt. The Griffin and Howe Side mount is a thing of beauty when they do the work and stock a rifle for it. A lot of very good Winchesters have been wrecked by bubbas that thought they could install one. They are not Cheap, they never was. For decades they had the Gun Room at Abercrombie and Finch when they catered to outdoorsman. That ended in 1968. G+H catered to american carriage trade, and to those the could afford the work. They started by making sporting rifles out of 1903 Springfield's. Along with others after World War I. You can look at then as being an American Version of John Rigby and Son. A new one of those with set you back 30 K for starters. There are a lot of good makers around these days some do very very good work for very reasonable prices. Hand work is not cheap from a skilled craftsman.

loggah, that is puurty! Is that a steel buttplate shocked? winchester aluminum? or...? Your rifle appears to be almost a full custom- while mine is more of a modified factory rifle. Do you know what year it was made?

Makes me feel a little sad about mine frown
It's been used too hard to still look as pretty as yours, But they must of had a quite a range of upgrade options available- Other than the sights mine doesn't appear to have a lot of metal work done. It still sports the original bottom metal. The stock is very similar to all the others posted here- except it has a leather wrapped pad.

I see, from their website, they are still "at it", and still is not cheap.
Nice work though, can't figure out from this page if that price is with a rifle/action you provide, or they do the whole thing?

I'm not really sure on the year, i misplaced the paperwork shortly after i bought it !! mad mad heres a few more pictures ,the butt plate has a trapdoor in it ,and the lyman receiver sight is in there,the blank is in the sight base at the moment. The barrel and action is strictly Winchester "featherweight" the upgrades are Griffin & Howe.

If I'm reading the caliber right, that's a .358 win Featherweight!
