Looks beautiful, but ...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Maybe it’s my age, or just me, but all these modern short “assault rifles” look like something that fell off the bottom of a truck to me.
Very effective though, I guess.

Thank you for you and your family’s long service record. I agree with you in that a good bit of wood never hurt a rifle! I have always been partial to 30-06, 30-30 and especially, especially... .303 loads on fast sequences in the old SMLE bolt-actions... Then again, I am younger, stupider, and I never had as much time at the civilian range as you, so I like a BIG kick!
