Pettifogger,
Good point! Unfortunately, there isn't always a choice. If you order a Rodeo II you are going to get burlwood - order a 12-22 and you will get white, like it or not. The only way around this would to be special ordering the grips of your choice, and special orders take extra time.

Note to All: Okay, I deleted that "eliminated" line, it was poorly worded. Elimination was not my intent - just determining which grips folks would prefer to see as standard issue.
