A few years back I was in a gunshop and saw a rifle that reminded me of some pictures I had seen. I asked to look at it and sure enough it was a G&H, Springfield, 30-06. It was the first one I had seen in the flesh and it was something. It had (I think) a Lyman aperture sight, nice walnut, barrel band sling swivel. The bore was nice and bright and it was in overall fine condition. The best part was I had the money in the gun budget. I coulda picked it up for $800.
Of course I didn't buy it. I had such a severe case of non-buyer's remorse I took an early lunch the next day and went to pick it up--of course it was gone.
Oh well. As Hemingway said, the road to hell is paved with unbought G&H rifles. Or something like that. I've always wanted one since then!!!
