Just read Yardleys review, and dont understand the comment made re the rib being laid,maybes one of you guys can read between the lines and explain it to me, the wood grain on the gun shown looks a prime example of what will easily crack through the hand though, his comments on chequeing finish I think can be ignored,price wise its a no brainer and shouldnt be compared to best london guns finish at the rack price it is,personally its fabulous quality for the price, and lets face it if you are using it as clay buster with occasional live shooting you wont get better value, all that is very good of course if it actually fits you!! fit should come before finish .the chequreing will vary from gun to gun as its hand finished,check a few out if you intend to buy.
