Very True. The finer the count, the shallower the cut. There may be something to say that more surface area comes in contact with your grip, but still, it comes down to the depth of the groove.

IMHO, Worn checkering still beats the fancy schmancy guns with laser cut checkering from a well know American gun maker.

I have a picture in my collection of Edwin Hedderly holding the big 16. As I recall, he is about knee deep in a duck marsh in that picture. He was a serious hunter. Kevin will probably agree with me when I say that the Max Fleishmann gun is one of the most hideous refinishes I have ever seen.
