After when it comes to style, I'm sure I've seen Monte Carlo stocked rifles from a UK gunmaker! Don't have photos to prove that though.

In the end, any style will made some happy, and others will not like it.

As said in the opening post, there is no doubt, the .404 rifle displayed would be a good working gun.

Just some thoughts.

Nitrox, here are some scans from ca 1990 catalogs/flyers.

BTW, I have also seen two awfull "working rifles" by Holland & Holland, both in .375 H&H, 1950s-60s vintage. One on an Enfield P14, the other on an opened-up WW2 K98k sniper action, the plugged sidemount holes still visible. Typical "H&H" from a distance, but terrible workmanship up close: Alloy mag/trigger guards, sloppy inletting, checkering cut lopsided.
