To my eye is is a strange mix of styles. Front half is what one would appreciate in a fast handling rifle for the woods. Rear half is IMHO set up more for deliberate use of a scoped rifle, which this is not, although the bolt is notched and has a low safety. The angle of the pistol grip doesn't lend itself to the fluid pointing of a fast handling rifle, at least for me. The wood is beautiful and the workmanship looks quite good in the pictures. It is in all a very handsome rifle with what I would call styling quirks. Maybe for once they reflect the owner's desires. It is great to see the receiver ring unmolested. Thanks for sharing.
