Looking for some opinions.
All things considered like fit/finish, collectability, durability, quality, but most importantly.. performance, which would you prefer to use for hunting... an early 1990s Winchester Classic Stainless or a more modern FN Made, Ultimate Shadow stainless? I've also looked at the Extreme Weathers but I'm not a fan of fluted barrels.

The former, although they will all work just fine.

Pass the older classic stainless please..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Pass the older classic stainless please.. Same here. They make excellent rifles and have excellent triggers.

If I'm considering a stainless/synthetic rifle, I'm thinking durability from the elements on hard, backcountry hunts. The trigger alone would have me choose the Classic over the new model.
