Not every pair is made simultaneously.
If you want book matched stocks, absolutely identical handling, and you can afford it, then order a pair.

I think Desirability Is a function of expected use as well, If you plan on Double gunning, then it's much Smoother with two identical firearms.

Everybody views this differently, but when the Red grouse are streaming down the hill, or gray partridges are absolutely exploding over the hedges, (and you can shoot all you want while the torrent lasts) It's a pretty special feeling to be using a matched pair.

It's not the American way, so it's less of a concern here.

Out there doing it best I can.
