That is a good one, nice grip. I like a little more distance on my stocks. The Original Schulers had the grip a little more to the rear and less curve. The photo stock also has some drop at the heel and comb. Probable has cast off if it was made by an experienced big bore guy.
The key is to fit the grip to the shooters hand. This is where a nice selection of pattern stocks is handy, just stick the barreled action in a stock and head to the range. Then back to the duplicator and make a few changes.
One of my ambitions is to build a big bore "try" stock so it may be adjusted at the range to fit the shooter. Then measure everything and start carving.
