Interesting that the original Lyman 48 has been replaced with the later model with hunter knobs. It leaves a gap between the new sight and the stock.

Griffin & Howe Springfield


Great looking G&H! Thanks for posting the detailed pics. It's possible the original owner of the G&H and M54 had only the one scope to share between the rifles. Are they different calibers? What is the G&H number?


No, they were both .30-06s. The mounts were actually slightly different, and Safari Outfiteers' gunsmithing department actually had to shim slightly the interior slot of the upper mount from the M54 to make it fit.

My G&H is Number 425.
