Cal .22-250, Barrel length 27". Harlan G Howe of New York, stamped his name on top of this custom Mauser rifle. Starting with a standard Mauser action, the front bridge has been stippled and the bolt jeweled. A 27" extra heavy round barrel, sans sights, with AO scope blocks installed. Barrel retains 95% original high polish blue finish. The custom stock is made of walnut, has a flared forend that is both checkered and hand carved with an oak leaf design. The forend tip is rosewood. The pistol grip has the same checkered and oak leaf pattern as the forend and sports an undercut rollover cheek piece. There is no butt plate, rather it is checkered in an English style. Quick release sling swivels. The stock is exquisite and finished in oil. The action and bore are fine. There is some blue wear to the trigger guard. Should make for a fine bench rifle.
