I'm somewhat challenged on posting pictures but I'll try and do that soon. I didn't have my camera last week so I'll get pictures this week. Don't think the wood is quite up to Mr. Kalpich's wood but it's close. And I have the swamped rib. Thought about the vented rib but decided to stay with this. Seems to go with the splinter and straight stock. I guess the only thing I don't like is the choke system. Much prefer fixed chokes but I knew going in that you couldn't get fixed chokes on the RBL 12.
It is a bit heavier than I hoped but my normal clays gun is a Thomas Wild pigeon gun that weighs almost 8 lbs. Certainly easier on the shoulder than when I shoot clays with one of my much lighter Merkels.
