Yes, it is their Classic design. The scope alignment/cheek weld was excellent for me, however everyone is different. My face may be on the large size as I have trouble getting low enough to use the iron sights on my Winchester Safari Express and Ruger Guide Gun.
I'm glad it fits. I thought about getting that model, but was unsure about the cheek weld.
Yes, but rifles designed to be slung on their side are designed to be slung on the left side opposite the bolt handle, as with German military Mausers, or opposite the cocking handle, as with the M-1 Carbine in your picture. Your Boyds stock has a swivel on the right rear, but no corresponding swivel that I can see on the right front, so what purpose does it serve?
I would say that it is just a place to put it. I took mine off and put it, labeled, in a drawer. There are conventional swivels on the bottom of the stock.
