Wonderful looking rifles, I want one ! Looks mechanically sound as well.

I think the choice of fore end length should depend on the weight balance of the rifle and NOT on the looks.
So, its difficult to say which length is the best choice. It depends where the shooter supports the rifle. That differs for each shooter and his favorite shooting position.

Would be good to show where the balance point on the rifle is. Even though a scope, scope rail and scope position would alter the balance again. Knowing the balance point would make it possible to compare the balance point between the current rifle and the Atom.

Some cut outs in the fore end and rear of the stock for extra weights would be welcome as well. The Walthers LG300 has this in the fore end, and the Steyr has it in the rear end. But the best would be to have them front and rear like the Walther LG400.

I don't like clamping weights to the barrel like you see in many 10 meter rifles. Will f**k up the barrel harmonics when you place or move a weight.

These are very judicious remarks Sven ;) :P
