The checkering on my RBL (#110) is outstanding in every respect, and has gotten favorable comments from all who have seen/handled it. The engraving seems a little shallow and the case coloring somewhat subdued, when comparing it to a wonderfully colored 50's vintage Sauer in my safekeeping. But not to worry, Tony sells case color lacquer #F0050 which is the stuff we used on the Sauer and will be applied to the RBL when I get the stock bent in the spring. Hopefully it will brighten up much like the Sauer did. For the time being, I'm having too much fun shooting Pheasants & Chuckers with the wee delight, to give it up, for now. Then there’s the Grouse shoot at Irwin, PA this Saturday. …Life is good.
Chuck, if you're basing your cancellation on seeing one example, please reconsider. I mean, is it possible that mine is the only "good" one, while your example could be the only one not meeting expectations? Let's all remember, this isn't a $35K bespoke Fox, and IMHO there aren't any shotguns on the market that compare, in looks or quality in this price range.
