....You know I didn't like the factory magazine extending so far below the stock, but now after a few years use, I wouldn't want it changed. It provides an ideal carry point for my fingers to curl around and makes speeding down a trail easier with the rifle than were it a flush fit. I do want to send the stock off, or maybe do the job myself, in order to shave it down to a bit more slim cut, fitting the proportions of the little rifle a bit better to my eye. There's enough 'meat' in the factory stock to bring out a lovely little, lighter, stock with an American comb and a snable fore end to compliment it's European heritage. I'll pillar bed it, and seal the floated barrel chanel, and reciever bed with a thin epoxy coat to keep out moisture. This little gun shoots like a target gun, carrying it up a tree is a delight, and it points like your finger, QUICK and ACCURATE! I killed a running buck last week with a perfect lung shot, one I'd not have made with a number of my other rifles!
