Thank you for the pictures and information. If having a B serial no. on the trigger guard means it was modified by Gibbs then mine is a Gibbs as well. His name appears nowhere on the gun.
Your pictures of the scope indicate that it cannot fit my base. Thanks. p.

That's not the scope I referred to in my PM, but one seen perhaps on eBay years ago.
Might be worth contacting the firm linked above in the UK to see if they can pull up original sales records on the rifle. That would presumably settle the question of whether that is a Gibbs base or something added later.
I don't remember any of the Gibbs .280s that have surfaced being marked other than scope tubes and with those B prefix numbers.
