Its not horrific, but its got pits on the tang.
Could send back to Ruger for reblue and bet they could get 50% of that out.
Itd be tolerable then.

Grip caps can be changed and are cheap.
Like pretty rifles but am a hunter, not collector.
Stainless and plastic work better for me.

Thought I'd like a pretty #1 though..........but then the pitting on the tang just knocks the shine off (to me).
Reflective in price I paid, so not a bad deal..........since it was priced as a well used 1B.

But I wish it was a little better. Picky I know.
