A leather covered pad is only the beginning.
Add a muzzlebrake, Parkerized finish, Drill the rib and add a Tasco scope, remove the engraving, put on a synthetic black stock, etc., and you have (now) a quality rifle appropriate for Alaska .

Too much attention towards how a double looks and none on how it shoots.We need good video evidence and less pictures and awe's.I had enough of pictures and shapes I want video proof at 50yds with both the rifle and target in the frame(multiple shots).BTW,an old rifle looks just like that- OLD-unless you make it new.

One question. Why would any of the gents here go to the trouble to prove anything to you? You have attacked and shit on just about everyone of note here. Most of the fine folks here hold you in contempt.

The rifle is very nice and definitely worth the wait Brett.

Also, you have a whole 1/4" on Cal with that cartridge and bragging rights!

Let us know how it shoots one you get a load worked up for it.

Yes, he has a quarter inch. But, with my .600, 8s and my 4, I have diameter!
