Thanks for all the comments and encouragement everyone.

In saying that I very much like the shape.

Good point. I don't think I've shot with a Sako Forester, but I did use a borrowed Alpine .270 for a few months (English, based on an '98 Mauser action) which had a similar stock to what you describe. This stock for the Anschutz here is about as slender as I'd want to take it, but it helps that I shoot offhand best with my left hand well forward on the stock. I actually have my index finger wrapped around the front face of the Schnabel and that gives me a bit more to hang on to than on a similar fore-end with a rounded tip.

Haha, latest technology don't you know. I was hoping no-one noticed that before the patent was granted.
