[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 364929, member: 2736"] The stainless barrels have a little more barrel life because of toughness, but they have less tensile strength that chrome molly. Also the stainless barrels are tougher to drill and rifle so they are normally lapped to remove machine/tool marks from the bore, and as a result they break in faster and foul less during break in. The stainless barrels are more expensive than the chrome molly barrels but In my opinion worth the difference in price and in the long run cheaper because of longevity. If the barrel maker does his part they both can be accurate. Also cold tempreture is not an issue with the stainless and is just a wives tale that has been proven wrong buy the barrel makers themselves.(If the stainless was dangerous in cold with all of the lawsuits that flood our court's do you think that the barrel makers would risk loosing there business over a product that was more diffacult to build)? For hunting I feel that the stainless is also easier to care for. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
