[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 435819, member: 2736"] One reason that I recomend Stainless Barrels is that some people don't seem to properly care for there rifles and as a results many things can happen to them and the Stainless just seems to hold up better. The most common things are - not cleaning the barrel or the action properly or not at all. when I say properly I mean clean and free of dirt, copper,solvent and inspected before wiping it down with a light Cote of oil. I have had to re barrel many rifles because of pitting. Some were rusted and some were etched from leaving solvents in the barrel or not removing all of it before storing. The worst example of this was a barrel that had a stuck case and the owner decided to pour solvent in it and leave it for several weeks to dissolve the brass stuck in the chamber. (That's right, that's what he said). Stainless barrels can be etched if solvents are left in to long and are ammonia bases solvents. I have removed rifles from there stocks and found stuff under the action and in the trigger that was older than I am. I also like to fire a fouling shot just before I go hunting and I may leave it this way for several weeks before cleaning and I wouldn't/couldn't recomend that you do this with a chrome Molly barrel. So if you are anal about handling and care and cleaning then the chrome molly barrels are fine but when hunting you can't all take the care that you would if at the range or at home so I recomend Stainless.
