    The butt stock on that rifle is one of the ones made by Pat Neville when he was working for Joe White in New Brighton in the late '60's. Pat was a first-class stockmaker of world standard. Those early SMLE sporting butt stocks were very comfortable to shoot. The stock is worth much more than you paid for the rifle!

    I could tell it was high quality as soon as I saw it and have a nice sporter that would have benefitted. As it turned out the BSA is a better shooter and the stock does feel very good.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Having owned a rifle stocked by Pat Neville I would have to agree - top class workmanship. Form, fit and finish was absolutely superb.
