The one parkerized chrome-moly rifle I've had for 30 years easily beats all the other blued chrome-moly rifles I have for weather resistance, wear and gives a nice flat no-shine finish. It doesn't scratch as easy as my cerakoted stainless barrels. Bead blasted stainless using coarse beads is even more durable and not too shiny.
