Very nice! Is the butt of the stock larger than "normal?" I only ask because I'm building my second A-Square Hannibal clone and use a copy of their "Coil Check" stock that has the enormous butt so that it shoves your entire upper body and not just your shoulder. It really works. I also put two recoil reducers in the stock. My new one will be a .458 Lott. I'm going to put scope mounts on it, but was half afraid to ever put a scope on it. But I see you're running one. Ever knock you in the noggin'? If not, I may give it a try. On my .375 Weatherby with the same stock and only one reducer, videos show the distance from eye to scope never changing. That big butt really works. So maybe I'll try a scope on the .458. Mine won't be as pretty as yours, though, as I had to go composite to get that stock
Yeah, the Coilcheck stocks always got a lot of hate. I have never shot one myself, so have no opinion on the functionality.
Yes, the butt is a bit wider than normal. That stock is a duplicate of a Rigby pattern and I have noticed several English best rifles to a lot of surface area on the stocks of rifles built with large bore cartridges.
