Agreed. However I do not like the high gloss finish on the stock. If it were mine I would have the stock done in a traditional flat oil finish. Like the old Rigby's were.
Man do I like that rifle.

The high gloss is easily cut back with pumice or rotten stone. Some use 000 or finger wool, but the rotten stone does a good job as well - pretty close in grit. This still leaves a filled stock, all grain filled.
