I picked mine up yesterday. I'll try to post some pics soon. The wood is about the same as the others that have been pictured. The one blemish on the whole gun is the rear sight base. It appears to be canted ever so slightly to the left if you are looking at it from above. There is at least one more on gunbroker that appears to be the same way, as there is a good picture of the rear sight from above. It isn't enough for me to bother with sending it back to ruger. I'm not going to risk getting the bluing scratched or the stock messed up when they go to "fix" it. Besides, I'm gonna put a scope on anyway and I'll probably never use the irons.
Overall it's a really nice rifle and I'm glad I picked one up.
