hello all,

i have just bought a griffin and howe 6mm rem rifle . it is built on a remington 722 action and a very nice wood stock with a shadow cheek piece and a ebony forend tip. the bolt knob is nicely engraved as well.On the barrel it is engraved 244 rem it shoots 6mm rem ?.
it is about 95 percent condition or the stock has a gold oval as well.

what is the age and what roughly is worth.

regards

The 244 and 6mm Remington are the same cartridge.

Try their website below. I would guess their Researcher could tell you. It should have a 1 in 12 in. twist. Remington introduced it as a long range varmint cartridge shooting 80 grain bullets. Later, when they got spanked by the .243 Win., it was changed to 1 in 9 along with the name(6mm Rem).

Hello,
As suggested, G&H folks can give you details as to age, history, etc., but as to value since it is a G&H built gun, price would be more than average for a Rem. 722. Strictly a guess, but would estimate north of 2500.00?? G&H is a quality house and generally commands premium pricing. I am sure it is a very nice rifle.

The 6mm & .244 Rem cartridges are the same but the rifles are different in that the .244s were made witha slower twist that won't stabilize longer (heavier) bullets. 6mm Rem rifles have a faster twist rate.

Since it has a custom barrel, you won't know what the rifling ROT is until you measure it. If it is a 1 in 12" ROT, it will still make a nice medium game rifle if you shoot 85 grain Partitions.
