Ugly is as ugly does! My first was in .22 Hornet, the second in .45-70 with a 22" barrel and black plastic stock. It was a shooter with that heavy barrel, and very powerful with preferred handloads. It was the best of the three, the last being another in .45-70 with the so-called "thumbhole stock - which I didn't care for. Also, it didn't have the ejector for the empty cartridge as the second had, but an extractor that didn't work very well with gloves on.

There's a pic of the second with the bear it killed in my latest blog on single-shots.
