but, I have seen a SS barrel on another hunter's gun, from almost a mile away before, because the sun was shining onto it.
Yeah...sure you did.
I've shot a bunch of deer from the ground with my 700 7-08 that sports a stainless barrel. All distances were inside of 75 yards. Everything from rainy days, to sunny days, to right at dark. Never had one spook, even when excess movement on my part should of sent them running.
