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.

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.
