[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 346132, member: 20047"] On one of the premium barrel sites it indicates that the CM can be blued, where as the stainless does not easily. The Stainless barrels have slightly longer barrel life. This is on one of the vendor sites and I can not vouch as to whether it is true, but I would assume it is. So for barrel life, one may choose to rebarrel their blued set up with a stainless rifle barrel if they are shooting one of the hotter cartridges to extend usable life. I read somewhere on this site some one in a thread mentioned they preferred CM as it was easier to hand finish. Sand etc..... [/QUOTE]
