I always keep a couple of walnut/blued rifles that I enjoy looking at whole I'm hunting, but I also keep a couple that I can beat on and bring in and out of our humid climate down here in LA. I like being able to come in with an SS/Syn or laminate rifle and not worry so much about it sweating, or needing to go wipe off all the fingerprints on the blued steel. I'd expect a blued barreled action in a decent walnut stock to cost slightly more that a stainless barreled action in an injection molded handle, but not a lot more. If the wood is something special, then I'd expect it to be 30-50% more.
