Pat, this rifle is ready for action out of the box. Marlin proclaims this rifle to be deadly accurate. The blueing is a deep blue high gloss finish. If you need absolute answers on the 1st two questions, Marlin should be able to provide you answers at : https://www.marlinfirearms.com/contact

it is ready for immediate us but hand polished probably not (its a mass produced gun) deep blue finish. sighted in at 100yrds maybe if you get lucky. every brand/type is going to impact a different spot so even if the did sight it in at 100yrds it would only be close (maybe close enough) if you used a different load
