I know that a number of members bought one or more of these rifles from SAS/Whittaker's and I have a question for everyone who bought one. I bought one in 22LR and just got my hands on it this weekend.
The question I have is that on the box my rifle came in, it lists the finish as being matte, but I'd definitely consider the finish on the barrel and to a slightly lesser extent the action to be a polished and dark blued finish. There's absolutely nothing matte about it. In fact, it's close to the finish on my early 90's era 77 MKII.
What kind of finish does the metal on your rimfire Predator have?
BTW, this isn't a complaint. I really like the slick finish on the metal of my rifle. I'm just wondering if they're all this way.
Thanks.
