The only thing which detracts from the perfect ergonomic design of the rifle is the period scope mount, which leaves the scope hanging in the air

Xausa, all great comments except I like a high scope. I have prominent cheekbones and have had a lot of trouble over the years with guns that bite me right in the bone below the eye, and a high scope solves this, and also allows for a heads-up position for snap shooting the head being "left alone" and the rifle mounted straight up. I have a 1939-built Husky Mauser {FN-98 action} that has a higher than normal scope compounded by a reduced-height stock comb made necessary in altering the cast-off stock for left-shoulder shooting. All-in-all, i like it. It does not provide for a firm "cheek weld", it does allow a "chin-weld" which suits me fine.

I've never hunted with a rifle scoped as the 7x57 here is, but it looks like I could manage along nicely with it!!
