Just a few observations:

The quarter rib is not, and why does it ramp up like that? Rear sight is way to close, should be at least 7" from the breech. He should have followed the original profiles on the barrels at least. And the choice of a base action stinks, no pistol grip? This is a CZ Bobwhite, which is based on the Huglu 202B which does have a pistol grip. The action is strong enough, I've proofed them to stupid pressures, so no faults there.

I'm sure he put a lot of time into these guns, but I think he needs to go back to the design board on some of the basics; barrel profiles, quarter rib, sights, stock. I'm sure with practice and refinement he'll have a fine gun, but, I don't think they are ready for prime time yet.

I've used the 202B with the original mono-block, and found that I had to mill the center of the block to fit a quarter rib. I then hand shaped the rib, from 3/8" stock, to the barrels, a very tedious job and one he seems unwilling to do. Hence the goofy jacked up rib/sight. IMHO
