I was looking at the Winchester website and noticed they have a new stainless version of the ultimate shadow.

The first difference that I can see between the US and extreme weather is the injection molded stock, and also the lack of fluting. Neither are important to me as I would restock it anyway and I can carry the extra couple ounces on the barrel.

What I DO want to know is if there are any other differences? Is the barreled action as good as an EW? Accuracy expectations?

thanks in advance, fellas
