That's what I thought. It would be interesting to see how different people ranked the factors in order of importance, such as, for me it might be:
a) grade ($ budget)
b) gauge (also a budget item)
c) barrel length
d) wall thickness
e) frame size
f) stock dimensions
g) mechanical function/integrity
h) wood fit and figure
i) engraving wear
j) case coloring
k) barrel bluing
l) chokes
