Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Model 77 blued vs stainless?
Posted: 4/30/2016 10:40:23 AM EDT
Anybody own both types and have an opinion on them? I've never owned a stainless gun, but like the look. Just curious as to whether people have noticed one or the other to be more accurate. I guess that the finish durability has its benefits, but I've never had any terrible with a blued gun rusting.

Elmer Keith was convinced the shiny stuff would scare game away .

Of course that was 1970's thinking but the guy knew hunting and guns

I have owned dozens of stainless rifles, mostly Marlin lever guns and various bolt actions.  I have never noticed a difference in accuracy and deer absolutely don't care one way or the other.
