Gentlemen,
Thank you for the compliments. When I bought it, it had an ancient repair to the wrist. I could see where the action was pounding on the stock, so I bedded everything, including drilling through the wrist into the butt, and inserting a threaded rod surrounded in epoxy. Once done I carefully checked to make sure nothing was touching the rear of the action so it wouldn't act as a wedge.
The stock is slim for sure, it has some cast-off in the stock too. It comes up like a fine shotgun. Balance is just a bit barrel heavy so it feels quick in the hands. I do have a box of Norma 286 grain around somewhere, I need to shoot the thing just to say I've done it. But it is very light, like around six pounds no kidding.
It is unusual in that the action is an m98 and not a Husqvarna version of the m98 or an FN action. Trigger is crisp and it feeds like a dream. So we will see just how bad that buttplate (horn) will feel.
