How does the G.A.G British Express stock compare to examples of the real thing?

I've read a lot of negative opinions of the Great American Gunstock Company here on A.R. Don't know if that is because their work/product is of poor quality, or if the custom guys would rather get the business. I've never used them, so I'm really just wondering. While looking through the GAG site, their Briish Express stock caught my eye. Have any of you fella's had GAG stock one of your rifles with this pattern? How does it compare to a Jeffery or Rigby pattern big bore stock? If you have mauser in 375, 404, 458 etc. with this stock pattern, would you please post a pic? Thanks,
Matt

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

I have one in a 375 h&h. It's a little thicker in the action area than most orihinal stocks but that can be reshaped to suit.

I have imported 3 or 4 stocks from them over the years & got reasonable service.

I got this one semi inletted and finsihed it myself

This one was also semi inletted but I got it done by a gunsmith
