I may have been a little high in my pricing of a blank of Claro Walnut. But to have it checkered by hand, it will easily cost in the $2000.00 range. English Walnut and Turkish Walnut will cost you a lot more. But the point I was trying to make was when they came out, I considered ordering one and I had to decide if I wanted to pay that much for a new gun. I won't degrade them or say how great they must be because I have never used one. But I had to decide if I wanted a new gun that was $500.00 over the price of a Gold Label. Are they $500.00 better? If they are, then that is what one should expect. Or are they X amount of dollars better than the new guns that are coming out today? I don't know. That is why some of us didn't want to take the chance.
