Whats the difference???

[sward]

I am planning on having my model 700, 260, trued and rebarreled. It is a standard action ie not stainless....the question is, is it any difference in a standard blued action and a stainless one? Other than the obvious weather resisting ability of the stainless?
then plans for the rifle are to kinda be a dual purpose....of course i want it as acurate as possible for target shootin (not neccesssarily for comp) but primarly hunting.
Also,can anyone recomend a good gunsmith in NC ???

there may be some difference in the hardness of the metal. other than that, they are about the same. i have a custom long action r700 in .300 win and i dont have any problems with it
