I like the original Dickert a lot.
My barrel weight calculator says the barrel weighs about 13.5 pounds.
I drew it out and found that it would come out about as deep at the lock as my 1" barreled Don King Flint Hawken.
With a 1 1/4 barrel, 3/16" web, a 3/8" rod hole and about 1/8" to cover the rod hole it was about 2" deep at the front of the lock as sawed out.
I have not measured it now that its shaped however I sawed it very close to size.
I cheated with the stock pattern by enlarging a photo of RCA 48. The original seems to have about a 12.5" pull. But it has a little more drop from the line of sight. It does cheek well in its intended use though.
I am thinking of putting my 15x target scope on it for load development
