I bought one a couple of months ago. Mine has nice blueing and is a good shooter. I put an old Tasco Pronghorn 4X on it. I didn't like how slick the stock was so I sanded the finish off of it and had a buddy do some fractal wood burning on it. I stained it golden pecan and gloss clear over that. It gave a new gun an instant cool factor. I have before and after pictures, just don't know how to post them.
