Would you call the wood on that gun to be understated to the max.?
One doesn't usually consider the purchase of a Halifax or R10 based on the excellent lumber attached to the gun. They are the 311s of Europe.
There do exist exceptions, however:
I've had worse wood than that on guns of all types. On a hunting/shooting implement, I'm more concerned that it be free of weird grain in the wrist. Regardless of how the worlds outmost forefitter has this one priced, it is an implement.
R10s are my favorite hunting guns. I have one more R10 to be restocked to my left handed dimensions. With nice wood. AND, it has great triggers.
Best,
Ted
