The cheaper one is probably the blued finish and the more expensive one is the phosphatized finish. The phosphatized finish is a harder more durable/resistant finish and usually around $500-750 more. I have the phosphatized finish, it's very nice, the barrel and the action both have the finish on them. The phosphatized finish is a very flat/satin black, it doesn't show figure prints or marks, it's very rugged and tough.
