Many thanks for the kind words guys. I'm lucky to have two little stalking rifles to take on future walks now, each special in their own way. I have to say that for as nice a rifle as the K95 is, and realistically a lot more capable in it's 6.5x55 chambering, the homemade one sure feels handy in a one-hand grip down at my side. Even though it's all steel vs. aluminum, it even feels a bit lighter.
