Nice photo of the rifle John..
I actually have a pre-64 Winchester in 300H&H at the gunsmiths getting redone as we speak so i found your comments on the stock interesting
The original one is not in good shape..have to have it either redone or have a custom one done..
Go back in the thread. Lots of other photos. I DO want to take more photos, as I used some big rifle rest sandbags to display the rifle and they look silly.
I am not an expert on stock designs. But my take on the classic Brit stock it has less wood, a much shorter forend, and also drop at heel, for open sight use.
The classic American looks like my stock. Straight comb for good scope use, and the longer forend.
If I ever get my .318 WR made, it will probably be a combination. I have admired a stock I saw on a magazine cover of an original .318 WR , black and dark with age, but a short forend. BUT nowadays unless only set up for open sights, the stock does need the straight comb for use with the scope.
