Ordinarily, I am not a big fan of the Hess family rifles, but I would give this piece wall space, prominantly at that, any day of the week. This is a beautiful gun! Everything on it is quite harmonious and the color is grand. You gotta love the 'Peter Angstat' type of radical butt stock architecture. Well, I could go on enthusing over it, but you get the idea. Let it be sent to the Library.
