Wish I could see your pictures, but Imgur has blocked us on this side of the pond.

This is my .250/3000; Model EG, not so much “custom” as “hacked about a bit”.

The Buffalo horn schnable fore-end tip is the result of my trying to fix the sling swivel eye too close to the original tip of the fore-end.

The saddle type cheek piece was cut from the shattered remains of Ross .280 Sporter stock.

The sling is a Parker-Hale Sportarget, sadly (and like the rifle) no longer made.

I have recently moved the Swarovski 3-9 to a .243, and replaced it with a 3-10 Nickel scope.

It is reassuringly accurate.
