Ruger Super Redhawk .454 - Does Not Have Target Grey Finish?

[Captains1911]

I just purchased a Super Redhawk in .454. The previous owner said the gun had never been fired and that he had purchased it new one year ago. All the pics I see of this model, including the ones on Ruger's website, show a target grey finish, however this one looks shiny just like all my other stainless steel Rugers. The sticker on the case says it's target grey, and matches the serial number of the gun.

I'm confused. The gun had all the typical signs of being factory test fired with a small amount of fouling in the bore and on the breach, so I doubt somebody polished it after it was purchased. Did Ruger recently stop producing these with the target grey finish?

Here are some pics of it next to my other stainless steel Rugers:

Ruger offered both stainless finishes as I recall. For hunting, I prefer the target gray finish, but other than that it doesn't matter.

It may have also been a distributer exclusive. I'm not familiar with any involving the .454, but I've seen other odd things like the SP101 in target gray or with gold accents.
