I was awake of the parkerized finish, but not that it would get scratches so easily. Wiping it with an oily rag makes it temporarily go away, but then it comes back when oil is dried up. That's not the main issue, the main issue is the action scratching the cases.
I took this home because I figured if everything else was great, i can ignore the few scratches here and there. But unfortunately after I chambered some rounds, I found out how rough the action feels and how it scratches the cases.
Thats the way parkerized finish works. Works the same on my PSS's I have had and same on my AR-15.
But if the action is rough, take it to a authorized remington gunsmith. And he can fix that in an hour and it will be under warranty. You would want him to fix it and not send it back to the factory.
