I do keep wavering back and forth about the checkering for that very reason. I really don't have a grip problem, it was mostly for ornamentation, but you're right, with this grain it may not need it. Thanks for the input.
As for the kick I named the gun Thumper. From both ends!
Yeah, amazing how those clunky, straight stocks absorbed recoil! You alter the physics, and your shoulder feels the result!
