[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 299734, member: 2736"] In my opinion there is not much difference in accuracy if properly made between the two. The stainless seems to have an edge on barrel ware and is not as effected by harsh cleaning solvents. And under hunting conditions they don't have to be cared for quite as often as chrome moly. Years ago the chrome moly barrels were definitely better because the barrel makers did not have the technique for making stainless down pat. (hart was the only one that seemed to have it wired).Now they all make good barrels,and some barrel makers only offer there barrels in stainless. In the end the stainless barrels may end up being cheaper because of the cost of bluing the chrome moly barrels, and bluing or even painting only protects the outside. I use stainless on the black powder rifles for the same reason and parkerize or paint them. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
