[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 2620591, member: 40966"] Stainless is not stronger, in fact just the opposite, CM steel is the gold standard. Race cars build their roll cage from it, NOT stainless steel. It's lighter only because you can use a thinner wall on the tubing. The difference in the weight of an action is probably only a gram or 3. Stainless is better if you don't want to coat or tear the metal. Most match grade barrels are 416 stainless, however. [/QUOTE]
