Chequering dóes come as standard but I didn't want it. Didn't like the looks of the chequering on the stock's forend, too short/small. Another pattern wasn't possible and I don't like pistolgrip chequering only so I changed it for extra engraving.
About me writing the review: there were sevarel people SCREAMING for a review so it's not my fault! They áre expensive, for a springer, but a very good pcp + charging gear new is just as expensive. It's a matter of choice.
