I paid $150 for mine a few years ago, no scope, and I thought that was a pretty good deal at the time. Mag that came with mine is blued, so yours is likely a replacement, not that it really matters. Spare mags aren't too hard to come by. I get the odd misfire with Winchester ammo, maybe due to hard brass or insensitive priming. No issues so far with Federal or CCI. Safety operates backwards to what I'm used to ( back is fire, forward safe) so I just keep the chamber empty and don't use it.
