Sorry, but I have to disagree completely with this. The checkering pattern is Ruger, the stock style is Ruger, the foresight base is Ruger, and the quarter rib is Ruger, but it's been altered for the German scope bases. You can still see the dovetail notches for the Ruger rings... why put them back on if you're going to build a new rib with a different sighting system? The rifle has been slightly customized and the stock given an oil finish, but there's nothing there apart from the scope mounts that's not from Ruger.
