It is hard to really capture the small details in Rodgers work in photographs. But when you handle one of his stocks, you really appreciate his eye for line and detail. Everything is just so sharp and crisp, clean would be a good word I think. And he was not afraid to go against the grain when he felt the urge, such as with the cheek piece. I just wish he had worked for G&H as I believe his stock work was way better than Hart Arms metal work, and better than much of the G&H stock work.

Anyway, back to the original subject of this thread, I believe the rifle is an earlier Hart Arms rifle. The stock is a dead ringer for the ones in the flier. Great find, and a bargain for what the OP paid for it.
