That's a trick little rifle!
My unsolicited $0.10. Really, really like the front part of the stock, slim, trim, great lines often screwed up by stockers trying to make a Mannlicher. Trigger guard back, though needs some re-shaping. I think you're correct as far as the comb but also the steep drop with the bottom ˝ of the grip. If there's enough meat there, taking some off the front of it and sweeping it back looks like it would go a long way towards svelting it up. Or...use the pixx out of it and enjoy it!!! Great grab!!
