Unfortunately you will be dissapointed with the finish. Remington has cut corners to lower or keep low its production cost. With regular use to include competition, I'll be very surprised if you don't see rust marks near the chamber in a few months. Also with hunting and exposure to elements, it sucks even worse. Cerakote probably helps. I now put light coat of oil on mine. I should have gone with a friend recommendation on getting a used remington wingmaster and then convert it to "tactical" version.

Concur. I have the LE variant of Federal flite control and similar offering from Hornady. The caveat is of course they are more $$$, but I opted for change of ammo versus Vang mod. YMMV
