The thing about weathershield is I believe the bore is still just blued. I can't promise that's the case, but remember reading it when I was looking about a month ago. I ended up going with the stainless Pro Hunter. It seems to be a great gun. Unfortunately I've had it for about a month and haven't shot it yet (that alone keeps me awake at night.) But if we ever get rid of enough snow out back and it stops raining/snowing whenever I'm off, I just may get out to shoot it.
I also plan on adding a barrel for coyotes, but I just built an AR so I'll probably just stick with that for awhile.
