I've been looking at the Weatherby Vanguard in .243 with synthetic stock. The blued version runs about $100 less than the stainless version. What advantage (OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS CORROSION RESISTANCE) does the stainless action/barrel have over the blued versions? Is there a noticeable difference in accuracy or strength between the two? I have always heard that carbon steel is stronger than stainless. Is this true? Anybody aware of any other advantages of stainless over blued steel, other than resistance to corrosion?
