Auguste Francotte 300HH

[Snowball]

Ended up buying a .458 and .460 and need to make room. I purchased this one with the intent to keep as a collector but have since had a change of plans. Would be willing to sell with or without the scope.

Looking for $5,000 shipped & insured. Will ship FFL to FFL.

Ramped blade front sight and three leaf (one standing two folding) rear sight along with standard Belgian proofs on the barrel and action. The ejector box, bolt, and follower have all been jeweled. Multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with contrasting forend tip, blued steel grip cap, blank inscription oval, and Pachmayr brown rubber recoil pad. Leupold FX-II 6x36mm in a Griffin & Howe mount. Excellent condition with very little signs of use.

This is a superb rifle, just screaming to be taken on a PG hunt!

Nice rifle!

 

[sierraone]

I ask this question before pertaining to another rifle that had a Griffin and Howe side mount and don't remember what I was told. What would be involved for a smith to remove the G&H side mount and drill the receiver for scope rings?

 

[Luvthunt]

Large holes in the side of the receiver(unsightly). Had a 1939 mod 70 with a GH side mount, contacted them and they offered to do work but wanted to keep the old mount..

That is a shame. since that is a true gorgeous rifle and of such a high quality Belgian brand. Thanks.

Yes that’s true but why change it the GH side mount is a Classic and rugged as H. The reason I wanted the Mod 70 changed it had a Lyman 3/4 in tube and small fov.
