What I meant by pretty is the wood is just plane straight grained birch or walnut, basic checkering or none at all, no engraving etc.... Basically a no frills gun instead of looking like, say, a Benelli or Browning.

I don't like to buy too many pretty guns myself. I seem to not want to take them out much to get beat up when I am hunting hard. I much prefer a rugged gun that will take the abuse it will get. The 1300 is one of these.
