It is ugly, no question. Especially for the type of action it sits around. I hope the comb height was set up correctly, but it looks like there is enough drop to be bothersome. I saw this picture a few days ago and had a friend going to SHOT. I emailed him and asked for his opinion when he got to their booth. Three concerns I had and asked him to look for were it's aesthetic issues, the comb height, and the forend. The looks are what they are, the grip is pretty nice he said, the comb height is tough to gauge without a scope in place, and as I feared, the forend is a club. Unfortunate.
