Drew - my thoughts on EG checkered vs. not was not factoring in caliber. I was thinking more generally that EG's are a fairly common rifle and most encountered are checkered. Non-checkered also means earlier production which for most collectors is usually preferred.

I got ya... my thoughts are like this... 303, 30-30, and 22HP are all pre-war only and I lump all pre-war EGs into a similar quality pool. But these three were not common at all and it seems at least 80% of the ones you see are non-checkered. I looked at these three checkered sort of like the checkered prewar F. Pretty darn rare. The exception to this seems to be if you count the "salesman sample" guns as there are surprisingly quite a few out there in 303 and all have some checkering.
