I looked at that rifle.
You have a rifle which was likely made in the early years after his move to W Sinto.
Biesen really liked the 25-06, his personal mule deer and antelope rifle was one, but I believe the rifles he chambered before Remington standardized the cartridge had slightly different chamber dimensions so don’t be surprised if you find some differences. Don’t fiddle with his chamber. Adjust your ammunition.
It isn’t unusual to get a rifle w/o a tip or steel grip cap. Later they became common but not everyone ordered them.
Stock could be California English or American but it makes no real difference. The rifle was likely made in the late 50’s or early 60’s so it makes no difference cause the wood is dry. Most importantly the stick is well laid out.
