Maxim K29 rifle – cal. 30-06 with a scope

The same Rifle as above made for the following Cartridges at the same prices. .25/3000 High Power Savage Cartridge, .30/06 U.S. Cartridge 220 grain, 180 grain, or 150 grain Bullets, .270 Winchester 130 grain Cartridge.

Overall, this rifle remains in superb condition. The metal retains about 80% of its original black, most of the color on the grip cap and strong original bright blue on the bolt release. The original stock has an old refinish and checkering has been re-cut, but remains crack and repair free. The rifle’s barrel locks up tight in the action and has a perfect bore.

The action is fitted with a “Patent Applied For” Griffin & Howe single lever quick detachable scope mount with .875” rings, neatly and correctly fitted to the action’s side wall. This mount was first introduced by G&H in the late 1920’s (1928/29), the later model marked with a 1932 patent. Being this rifle was produced during the same small window that this iconic mount carried the “Patent Applied For” mark, and considering the high quality workmanship to install the mount, there is no doubt in my mind this was done by G&H when the rifle was first brought to the U.S. and is, for all intents and purposes, the “correct” scope and mount for the rifle.

Also notable and worthy of mention, is the very rare chambering (for WR at least) of an American cartridge. The fact it is chambered in the .30-06 Springfield, one of the greatest rifle cartridges ever invented, is certainly a plus as well.

Finally, the rifle and scope are neatly housed in the original O&L case making this an outstanding example of a between the Wars Best quality Westley Richards rifle in the very rare “American” caliber.
