I've never read any documented evidence of the merits of one steel over the other....Chrome-moly verses stainless....in regard to barrel life or accuracy.
The stainless is not real stainless as it will discolor to a degree.
As far as I'm concerned the biggest difference is that in the end one should pay for bluing on the chrome moly and may omit that step with stainless.....to me this makes stainless a bit less costly.
Is "stainless" not "stain proof"
