I like them but not because they won't rust. I like them because they are easier to make look new when they do rust.

I only have one, but I like it.

Most match barrels are made of stainless steel. Obviously a huge simplification of a match barrels, but generally the steel itself and manufacturing process with stainless is more conducive for better accuracy.

I like 'em. Had lots of rainy or snowy opening days over the years. Add a scope with rainguard coated lenses and you're good to go.

I like the looks of blue and stainless both.
Stainless is a lot easier to take care of but don't be fooled into thinking they can't rust because they can and they do.

Went through the plastic/stainless/camo phase but am back to the esthetics of blue and well done walnut. Guessing it's a pretty common cycle. Never had a problem with CM rusting. .

I use a lot of stainless rifles. The appearance doesn't bother me, especially in a big game rifle. They're a bit easier to deal with in the rain and snow. I still enjoy blued and wood though.

I like to have one or two around to make my blue/walnut guns look that much better.

I like them, and also like the full camo ones. Nothing is as nice to look as good wood and blued metal, but I don't hunt with anything like that anymore. I have a couple of my first deer rifles, a Marlin 336 and a Remington 700 Classic that have been relegated to safe queen status because they're just what I prefer to hunt with these days.

I must be conflicted because I really like stainless actions and barrels but I like them in a nice walnut stock. drover ![[Linked Image]](http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab220/iamdrover/Pictures/Winchester%20model%2070/mod70flview2.jpg)

I like both blued rifles and SS rifles. I guess I’m a bit of a slut.
