Stainless or blued action for new custom rifle

[depopulator]

I'm new to this forum, but am a long time 6mm remington and .243 winchester fan. Fantastic website and forum. So you guys got me thinking about a new project.

I have a model 700 .243 BDL deluxe in blued steel. I am thinking of using this action as the basis for a .243 AI project, to include a stainless barrel and some kind of,unsure as of yet) varmint/tactical/benchrest stock.

Or should I invest in a new stainless rifle,maybe Rem SPS SS or Howa) to get a hold of a stainless action and have it built into a .243 AI custom ?

I also have a mauser 98,Parker Hale 1200V) in 6 mm Remington, any thoughts on using this action as the basis for a custom job,either in 6mm Rem or 6mm AI) ?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nothing wrong with blue. In fact I sort of like the contrast when adding a stainless barrel. Beauty after all is in the eyes of the beholder. You won't see a lick of difference in how they shoot so go with what you like.

I also like a blued receiver and a S/S barrel, it just looks nice to me.
I doubt I would put much faith in trying to do up a mauser action when so many others are available. But if that's all you have go right at it, and it may shoot just fine for you in a varmint rifle.....
