Nice gun, sort of plain wood but you are buying it as a shooter and that stock should be stronger than some of the fancier woods I've seen. The best part is it has double proofs (16,366lbs/psi) so you should be able to shoot normal loads through it. I say this because I have a super light French double that has single proofs and because of that I've pretty much restricted my shooting with it to lighter loads. The French do have a thing for sculpted balls don't they!

PS at the risk of controversy, with 2.5" chambers I simply extend the forcing cones and shoot 2.75" shells though them. I usually use lighter 2.75" loads but it's still nice to be able to use easy to acquire shells when you're out in the middle of nowhere and run out of shells.
