This isn't even the matte brushed stainless, it has a matte finish, but it looks almost like the target gray my old Super Redhawk 454 was finished in. Bolt needs to be worked some, but a good solid feeling gun that comes naturally to the shoulder with the express sights lined up. Only thing that would make it any better is if it had the folding leaf rear sight, but you would need a pretty stout hammer to knock the current rear sight off of there, the white bead front sight is a vast improvement over the "gold" bead on my #1.
