I agree. Thanks to MFC for bringing the photos back to life.

I like everything about the rifle: Stock proportions, forend, grip length, drop at comb and heel, rendering of the butt and pad, tasteful metal work, and excellent sighting.

I am printing the photos for my reference file and will spend much time looking at them when designing my next stock.

The typical American gun builder has never learned the classic style of the best British rifles. Even those of the much touted closely knit clan, you gents know of whom I am speaking about.
