Jim,
My finish is a satin, oil finish, the reflection is due to the flash on the camera. I am sure both guns have similar oil finish.
The safety is a 2 position safety, the bolt does open on safety as well.
I don't know how old the gun is, I got it used, but I don't think it had been shot much if at all, it is mint.
I sighted it in with some .22 ammo I pulled from my shelf and once I sighted it in I haven't been back to the range to check it. Furthermore I don't care as long as I can hit gophers like I did yeasterday.
If it turns into some monster like some of these guys claim, it will be gone. I can't own an inaccurate rifle any more than I can own an ugly gun.
