Rifle has two other desirable attributes besides the sculptured 48 mentioned by Mike. First, the sling swivel is not, praise ye the Lo-d, on the barrel. So you can use a shooting sling without changing the point of impact as much. Most classical G&Hs were made for wealthy sportsmen who could not be bothered to learn how to shoot prone or sitting, and the swivel on the barrel meant that with the rifle hung muzzle up over the shoulder the barrel didn't stick up as much to catch on branches. Those gents never understood that barrel down on the left side, left hand holding the forend, is the quick way to get the gun into action. Second, it has a hinged floorplate with guard release in Oberndorf style. This is very scarce on G&H 1903s although many Bob Owen rifles had it. All in, a most desirable rifle but scarcely at a bargain price. Should note the scope is not a 4x, but a 2 3/4x Zeiss Zeilklein.

Hey Guys... We really have no idea how high this rifle is finally priced as there is a reserve! BTW first time I've ever seen the turret on a ZEISS worn down to bare metal in places and the toe of the buttplate as well from...DISPLAY!!! Nice gun but I'm betting that anyone with that many feedbacks[2757-big time dealer] is going to want way above what an "informed buyer" should or would pay!!! JMHO Jerry

If you really want it you can always drop in a last minute bid
at the price you are willing to pay, with luck, it will exceed
the reserve. If not, you haven't lost anything.

I think he ended this early, I went back to place a bid and it was closed.
