Good afternoon sir, thanks for the reply and info.

I'm afraid I'd have done the exact same thing if I'd seen it in a local shop too! grin

I'll admit I'm not offended whatsoever by straight grips and Schnabel fore end tips - it's a square head heritage thing likely with me.. blush

It would not be the first rifle I'd bought because it had pretty wood either now that I think about it.

Thanks again for sharing what I think is a really uniquely fine looking arm.

All the best.

Dwayne
