Thanks for the help, really.

I think the stainless A-bolts just look really clean.

I asked a reliable friend, today, about the stainless finish, and he echoed bigbulls, "If you take care of a gun, it won't rust, you'll have no problem with the finish. If you don't take care of it, the finish won't matter, anything will tarnish and look bad over time." He said he and his family own countless blued barrels, none of which have tarnished or rusted due to common sense care.

I shouldered a Ruger yesterday. I didn't care for the action. The Browning feels the best to my extremely novice hand.
