I read somewhere once that beech was the standard and walnut was an option with the luxus as was 10 shot mags, and a straight butt.
I think checkering and Schnabel forends were optional too.
Pity they didn't offer the hogsback stock back then, they have a nicer look in my opinion.
Thanks Chappo, funny thing was when I bought it new it had this god awful dark brown stain on it which you couldn't see any gain or anything with it on, one day I just decided to sand it off and to my surprise was this beautiful looking grain under it so I then just applied some sort of veggie oil from memory and just kept putting more and more on over the years and it just kept getting better, I've used all sorts of oils on it over the years (oils oil to me I don't get fussy about it all) whatever I have around gets a run
Anyway she's a nice little rifle to use out poking bunnies with.
