I've definitely seen worse. It may have been the cat's pajamas about 1970 or so.

At least it's not a multicolored laminate thumbhole affair.

Actually, the stutzen in curly maple is somewhat reminiscent of 'Kentucky' and 'Pennsylvania' rifles of the late 18th and early 19th Century. I kind of like that aspect of it.

I don't care either for the too - light and too - yellow color, though, and that contrasting checkering and butt pad do it no favors. Perhaps nothing that a bit of stain and a wafflepadectomy couldn't fix?



At least the stock profile seems near faithful to original. It even includes a 'special folding peep sight' as originally offered by Steyr:



To my eye it's really no worse / better looking overall than is this rather embellished (depending on one's taste) MCA Alpine as offered by Steyr in 1966:
