The wood is a major negative for me. Claro just does not belong on a double. But yes, the price on the gun was less than expected.

Brian,
What is it about claro that makes it unsuitable for a double gun?

That's a good question. All that have guns stocked in Claro or are considering restocking a gun with Claro would like to hear Brian's reasoning for making his statement that "Claro just doesn't belong on a double."

It just does not have the right look, for one. Not traditional at all. And it is rather soft. Does not hold checkering as well.

Good call John. It has resurfaced priced at POR.
