I prefer stainless mostly for aesthetics. I think it looks better and it has good corrosion resistance. Maybe they will offer it in grade 8 steel. <----- that is just a joke, so please take it as such.

Silver is not a natural color in nature. Have you ever thought of what it looks like to a deer/elk?

They will see movement long before they see a stainless barrel pointed at them...

You have no way of knowing if your barrel has spooked an animal. You might have thought it was something else.
I like to keep all the odds in my favor.
You can wave an unnatural barrel, or a natural barrel. What do you think the game will see first? A dark branch waving in the breeze is natural. A silver branch??

With the bore and exterior coatings available on the market today and with people trying to save money on about everything. SS rifles come down to a personal choice. if a person decides to buy a blued rifle and applies these coatings, there rifle will resist rust as well if not better than SS and they can save quite a few dollars. remember SS will and does rust,if not taken care of. enjoy whatever you decide on and be safe.Ray

They are color blind to certain colors. They aren't blind. An unnatural color/shade stands out to them.
