Here is another pre-War G&H, No. 1696, which started life as a .220 Swift, and was still in that caliber when I found it in the G&H showroom several years ago.
Having a varmint rifle caliber combined with a 2 1/2X Lyman Alaskan scope and a sporting stock made no sense to me, so I had G&H rebarrel it in 7X57, using a replacement barrel with the original Model 70 profile.
It is a beauty of a rifle and accurate as well. The slide for the Lyman 48 receiver sight is contained in a butt well accessed by a trap buttplate.
