Very nice rifle. To me this Ross looks very similar to the Schoyen/ Peterson perch belly stocks. This is my left handed stock by Schoyen/Peterson. Not sure which one made it, but I would presume their stocks would precede Ross’s time frame although Pope would have been in the same times. They are,however, very comfortable to shoot offhand with scoped rifles.
Later thoughts, Ross worked at Stevens and carried on after Pope left in 1906 which you all Steven’s experts already know! For some reason I was thinking of Ross King who Michael Petrov spoke about in his book. So all of these guys were contemporaries, wonder if one might have copied another’s?

Nice !!!!
