Opti wood stock wood. I can assure you that it isn't Turkish walnut; only a rank amateur not familiar with walnut wood might think it. A trained eye can readily tell that this fake wood grain on the so-called opti wood is not real at all. The real wood stock, real wood, but with plainest, cheapest possible wood, is "enhanced" with man-made overlay that is paper thin, so when it wears off, is scratched or otherwise damaged, it cannot be sanded down and refinished, unless one doesn't mind the ugly pain wood beneath. Personally, I would never own a gun/rifle with opti wood or anything similar.

DRJ is correct! Opti wood is a photograph of a piece of Turkish wood and is applied to the wood in the same way camo pattern is applied to the metal on a shotgun. I will also assure you that looks will not last, and what you will be left with is a no-grain maple stock. The wood is the least of the problems where Sabatti doubles are concerned! What you should be worried about is the regulation. The fanciest double rifle in the world that is not regulated properly is not worth even an Opti-wood stock!
