Thanks Steven. I did look at the rifles in the checkering book. There is some similarity in the cheek piece shape. All the rifles in the book are sporters so it made it a little hard to compare. I have not seen any other target rifles by Monte and really did not know if he made many of them or not. I also suspect that this rifle was made quite a bit later than when the book was published, so it is hard to say how his style changed.
