I have one...it is a Webley and Scott 7 pin sidelock. It has a checkered butt on a very nice piece of Turkish walnut. I am getting ready to take it to South Da. next Monday. I have shot a few rounds of skeet with it and I do not find it uncomfortable to shoot.

Good to see you here, Jim.
I love checkered butts, or, checkered wood. Done right, they are truly beautiful. I have guns with pads, but, they were put there by others. They are useful, but, to me, less aesthetically pleasant.
Best,
Ted
