Nice rifle, I'm thinking you'll appreciate the weight difference between it and the std wt configuration. I hate to break it to you though, the stock appears to be a '59 (or late '58) to '63 stock. It appears to have a composite butt plate, plus the color has post '59 written all over it.. Nice rifle/good picture.
Yep, your right. Composite butt. I still love the wood. No blemishes and finish is perfect.
