Nice rifle Jim.
Any reason you kept the factory bottom metal? Customer request?

Jim has many skills that I do not have, and I have hired him to do a couple of small projects. But in the interest of bouncing ideas around, were it my project I would have done some different things in the grip area. First, I would have put more curve in the upward surface of the grip. Second, the bottom surface of the grip could be a more continuous curve from the rear screw to the grip cap. To my eye, this one has a "kink"--a sharply radiused part and then it gets straighter close to the end of the grip. And I would make the "bridge" between the flutes the nose of the comb thinner.
But, again, I offer these comments out of respect for Jim and readily acknowledge that most anything I can do, he can do better.

Perfection.
Utah708 comments are not off at all but a different style or esthetic. Also for different sized hands. The straight wrist looks slightly European and the curved continuous radius grip more American to me. JOC described it that everything should be either a straight line or a curve ( but not both). I think this has had a lasting influence.
