I've handled more then a few of them. Last year at the Southern they had some 28 gauge with 30" barrels with straight stocks and they looked and felt great. Their case colors are outstanding and the one's I looked at had the upgraded wood and they were fantastic. Some had American Walnut and some had English. I don't recall the price, but they felt lively and swung well. They are a tad proud of the frame, but the checkering was fine. Bottom line is they passed the eyeball test to me. I think the upgraded walnut was about $500 and well worth it at least to me..
