I've seen that rifle. It belongs to a gentleman in Botswana. The stock developed a crack and it had to be repaired by a gunsmith friend of mine in Pretoria. It doesn't have a recoil lug under the barrel, through the forearm. I suspect it may have one now to prevent further cracks. These photos are really flattering, by the way. The action is a Granite Mountain Arms action, if I recall correctly.

can't understand this - such a rifle if mine would have a 12 mm steel bolt in the stock.
from the action to the stock pad and I don't care for the extra weight.
