That's a nice rifle, Marrakai. I like the G&H look of the pistol hand. I like the safety, too, and the pregnant magazine belly looks the shot for fat DG cartridges. Do gunsmiths still turn the metal base of it upside down to get rid of the step?

Is there any practical reason why an original Enfield bolt handle shouldn't be kept? I reckon the old dogleg adds character, like the milled intricacies of the Mauser action - more to exercise the eye than the turned expedience of some modern sporters.
