Possibly the only change I would make is the slant the start of the beaver tail fore-end the other way - forwards rather than backwards.

I like that style too, cosmetically I would make the transition at the receiver to the fore end a bit smoother/more subtle

G'day all,
I like the styling to be pleasing to the eye. that is it has to look "right". if you can get that with a good grip and points well you've nailed it.
I'm still working on the last 2 :wink: :lol: :lol:

Not dissimilar to the Cooper varmint stock, their transition slopes forward and the fore end is bit longer.

I think as Frakka said it is very similar to a Cooper

And for me it needs to be a little longer in the forend with less taper.
