Bill,
That is a beautiful rifle that has some very interesting features. For example, the side mount appears to have been textured in some way, perhaps by florentining or stippliing. The stock contours are unusual in several aspects, particularly in the treatment of the cheek piece and the contouring of the butt. Robert U. Milhoan did not copy anyone else's work! I suspect, considering his good reputation, that the stock is functionally and technically superb. I would be proud to own it!!!
