stainless isnt anymore accurate but it is easier to clean and if your hunting in harsh and foul rainy weather this is the gun of choice for most people.

I do not believe a SS barrel is more accurate but it is easier to clean. Some gun manufacturers have the SS barrel too shiney in my opinion, but my SS Encore has a matte finish on it which has dulled since buying it. But all in all the SS is easier to clean, no worry for corrosion, and it sortof looks better if that matters.

Probably the oldest BP store in Ohio gave me this advise,Blued barrel,black stock.I did not follow his advise,but then when have I followed anyones advise?

enough with the german I cant read that stuff LOL :D:D well I dont know if there is a difference in accuracy between a SS or a blued gun. But the molecular structure of stainless steel is weaker but more rigid then the steel used in blued guns. So maybe a stainless steel gun could be more accurate since the steel is stiffer.

I've never heard of SS being more accurate that Blued.

On the other hand, chrome barrel lining is used as an accurizing technique.

Not on my AR15, it's to make the barrel last longer.Nothing to do with accuracy

RE: NEW muzzleloader....blued or stainless more accurate??
 

I'm not certain I am right on this but my Kodiak w/nickle barrel weighs about a pound less than it's sister gun,a Win. SS Apex.Now if that's true the non SS gun weighs 15% less.That would make me want one,just the lightness is a plus.If your gonna clean your gun it'll be clean and won't rust if it's blued.

all the best,

Thanks for the correction jcb9901, chroming is typically used for enhanced corrosion resistance.
