I think the wood is what does it for me. When I walk around a gun show or go into a local shop for instance, I tend to look at the engraving first to help identify it (make, grade, etc.). My evaluation of it for what it is starts with the wood though. I do agree with Dean, I think there is such thing as "too much" when it comes to wood. I see this all to often on re-stocked guns. I'll take a warn original stock with decent figure over something outlandish with a mirror like finish any day.

OK Rich, if we are going to continue in our relentless quest for "the perfect grouse gun" perhaps we should define the perfect grouse gun. I'll start a new thread so as not to clutter this one with OT stuff.

You can start a new thread but the perfect Grouse gun is just an illusion of the combination of wood and steel but its ok with me
 Yes both bbls work now. It was a simple fix and the Grouse did pay the penalty as did some Pheasants. |

Now I know how the one girl at the prom, wearing a homemade dress felt.
