There's finishes you can apply over the stainless steel. I wouldn't even worry about it as it ain't gloss finished stainless,deer are color blind-remember? If you are even 1/2 way doing your job of being undected the game ain't gunna be lookin at anything but the muzzle in 1st place,and even if they ain't,matte stainless won't spook them. If you have worries of hunting in damp areas or raining,go with stainless.

Superman77,
Myself, I don't like the looks of stainless, but I'm old fashioned. At the end of the day most people wipe down their firearm with a silicone cloth to prevent rusting and those same people would do that with a stainless gun too. For the difference ($), between blued or stainless, I would go to the blued, but that is mainley a personal preference kind of thing. Buy what you like the best your the one shooting it.
