Lots of nice rifles for certain!! Purely a matter of taste but I think stutzen stocked rifles need that Schnabel about midway toward the muzzle. Kinda breaks up that looooonng straight line and offers a parting point to thin the stock. Steve, I am a pure "D" sucker for side panels, nice.
I have yet to decide on a picture host so can't post my two M/S rifles. Not a lot to see as one is a 1903 and the other a 1908 and there's plenty of pictures of like rifles. The 1903 has claw bases but the 1908 is totally unaltered....thank God!!!
Bill, on my Mannlicher/Schoenauer's I have Levy's slings. They still offer them for 3/4 swivels which original M/S rifles were equipped with. I assume your Ruger has 1 inch swivels and Levy's offers a pretty nice line of them as well.
