It'd be worthwhile to check.  Scroll back up to your first photo and look at the "tiger striping" on the forearm and contrast that to the "solidness" of the stock behind the band. 

It's a very nice looking rifle.  The stock looks very clean.  Check for the join.  If it's not there, and I hope it's just your photo lighting, then go with the "nice rifle" bit.

That is my favorite model.  I hope it's your photo but look carefully at the stock under the band.
