I like blued with a wood or a wood laminate stock best for appearance sake.
To me the stainless looks best in a composite stock.
My stainless rifles have a matte finish to minimize glare so I don't worry about that when hunting, I just move very, very slow.
I think that stainless gives a person a little more time before corrosion starts but I always clean my guns right away anyhow.
As for accuracy I haven't noticed any difference.

Appearance : a dark rich blued barrel with some nice wood is really hard to beat. When I look at a stainless barrel.. that is what I see, that blaring stainless color. Not that it is not pretty in its own way, but if I were to hang a rifle on the wall to look at (and I have) it would have a nice wood stock and a blued barrel.

Accuracy: I really see no difference between the two in the accuracy department. I give a lot of credit for accuracy to the person behind the barrel and the work they did at load development. I personally think it is easier to work up a load in a blued barrel. I can't put my finger on why, but I seem to be able to tune them up to a good load, faster.

Cleaning : I think they clean up the same. But I can tell a stainless is clean sooner then a blued. Not so much because they give up their fouling faster, you notice sooner when they are clean. How many times have you swabbed your blued barrel, the patch is clean, you check it, and then decide... lets run a couple more patches. I do it all the time. Only because my eyes tell me there "might" be a spot I missed, and like a lot of you.. I am anal when it comes to cleaning my rifles. With a stainless barrel I clean it, I can look and not see any fouling and my eyes again tell me.. "ok. its clean."

Which do I like better : Wow.. that is a hard one. I like the looks of both, but I guess I would have to go with stainless. Stainless gives you that confidence that the rifle is clean. Also I don't know why, but when I see stainless, I see stronger. And I know that is not the case. But one's mind can play silly games in their head. So I guess I like stainless better.

Blued, or browned.

SS is for yuppies.

Don't be hating on me. He asked.

X2, SS just doen't lokk natural to me!!

I'm with you brother. I want a gun to look like a gun not some manufactures concept of what people should have. No fiber optics sights on any of my side-locks or anything that distracts from the beauty of a well made gun. If people fed their families with blued or browned guns for hundreds of years it is damned sure good enough for me.

i actually like the parkerized finish a bunch, had it on a 870 of mine and it was very durable. wish more gun makers offered it.

I have always loved blued guns. I bought a stainless DA revolver and the SS has grown on me a little bit. On the other hand, I received a Traditions Pursuit as a gift. It has an alloy barrel (maybe nickel) with grey finish, topped with a silver scope and housed in a wood stock. It looks out of place.

British spies posing as hunters were smoked out because they were carrying standard issue Brown Bess with bright barrels. The locals who confronted them said" no hunter in his right mind would use a gun with a silver barrel" It was wisdom then, and still applies now. I prefer rust brown, but will settle for blue/black.
