I appreciate all the input guys. I decided on the polymer stock and matte black barrel. Is the barrel as prone to rust as a normal blued barrel or does the coating help out a bit?
It's not a coating, it's matte bluing. Treat it like any other blued part. Unfortunately, on the stainless models, the only stainless steel part is the barrel. The bolt is still unfinished carbon steel and is usually the first part to rust. Not really anything "weatherproof" about them.Is the barrel as prone to rust as a normal blued barrel or does the coating help out a bit?
Next is, compared to the .22 I'm used to, cleaning this thing is a PITA, especially if I want to use a rod to clean from the breach, I have to fully disassemble the weapon.
Fake suppressor or real?
