I have a .30-06 with approx 21.6" barrel, no cheekpiece,no pistol grip cap and with the grey "vapor blast" receiver. I also have a 8x64S with polished blued receiver that matches the 24" barrel. This one has a cheekpiece and a plastic pistol grip cap similar to the pic posted by TexasJohn. Both of mine had shrunk butt plates that I replaced with recoil pads. These guns are well made and I understand only about 20 000 were produced.The only thing I don't love is the separate magazine box. The straddle floorplate, the in the bow release of the all steel bottom metal is otherwise very desirable.I also like the 3.47" magazine length which allows bullets to be seated out for max performance reloads.The single stage adjustable trigger is also very good.
