They angle of the photo shown here somewhat distorts all of this. In my Custom Rifles in Black & White book I show full length views of most all the rifles as near as straight on profile as I could shoot with the camera.

My copy of CRBW is at home but I'm wondering if you try to keep the grip cap at a right angle to the arc of the grip. It looks pretty close to that in this drawing, though, as you say, the angle of the photo makes it hard to tell.

Also, the toe of the stock looks short making for an odd angle to the buttplate. That too is probably an illusion caused by the angle, but I would be interested to hear your take on how these two angles are determined.
