any scratches on the ruger not visible in the picture? did it come parkerized or did you have it done? who did it? I'm thinking that the ruger is a tang safety, not the 3 position safety? Does the Ruger have a bull barrel, I can't tell from pics...
I had it done as the Bluing was thin. It has a factor varmint barrel. It is a tang safety , this a good clean users gun I had parked black due to the hardness of some the metal some is more green than black. The stock finish was scratched and dinged, I stripped it and steamed out the bad dings and tung oil finished it.
