The unfinished stock shown here in the first post is much too straight in comb to heel for a British type stock for a Mauser. My Rigby has almost 2" of drop in the heel from the CL of the bore .American designed stocks are very straight because most Americans shoot mostly from the bench.A too straight stock can get you killed when an animal is charging as a shooter as he lowers his barrel at a charging animal
cant keep his head down to see the sights.Try it sometime. Pondoro Taylor and J Hunter almost lost their lives finding this out .Jeff Cooper at Gunsite had a charging lion scenario where he noticed all the African rifles with little or no drop in the heel always shot high over the head of the raoidly charging lion ,therefore becoming theoretical lion food.
