Might not be every bodies cup of tea but I like them. I appreciate the ergonomics of a proper pistol grip. Helps hold the rifle steady, improves follow up time and, for me, are far more comfortable to use. The style of the stock is far better suited to scope use.

I am not keen on the long single stack magazines. With modern technology and Paul Mausers mathematics there is no reason a good reliable double stack magazine can not be made at a reasonable price. I would happily-if I had the money- use a similar stock on hunting rifles and these sorts of stocks on a rifle that I would use to sit over rabbit warrens.

I still like good timber and blued rifles, I don't think you can beat this combination for beauty and timelessness. Each to there own.
