Until you try to use it with a scope and find out that what you consider normal check weld is impossible with that hog's back stock design...it is designed for use with iron sights. The drop at the heel also maximizes felt recoil.

Europeans shoot a lot differently than we do in N.A. They keep their heads up a lot more. A classic or Monte Carlo stock shape works best for most of us regular folks. I will agree they look nice, especially the full stock models.

My opinion, based on my experience, worth exactly what you paid for it.
