The Model 21 that is pictured in Ned Schwing's book is pretty nice. I always thought checkering was a matter of need and taste. Speaking of long arms......... my aunt gave me a very nice Weatherby rifle that belonged to my uncle before he died. It is really a beautiful rifle with mother of pearl leaves all along the stock and a gold plate under the stock with his name engraved on it. But he had such long arms. (They said from carrying milk pails on the farm all his life). I can't even get my eye close to the scope because the stock is so long.
