Might be picking up a Remington 700 in .338 win mag wih a stainless barrel at a local shop. Im not a stainless guy. I only ask because I can't find a .338 win mag in a black or blued barrel produced by remington thats not $1200 on up.
My Mossberg 4x4 is black and in .338 win mag. Nice gun but its was dirt cheap.(not a bad thing being only $400.00!) The Remington 700 is long proven and parts are dime a dozen,you can get a extended magazine,change stocks,etc. I'd like to go the Remington route and ditch the Mossberg.
I feel kindof "dumb" asking this but I'd like to custom paint/coat the gun. Stainless is nice,don't get me wrong. I have a SA 1911 government model in stainless. I love the look on that. But i'd like to paint my gun myself. IS THE STAINLESS BARREL GONNA RUIN A GOOD PAINT JOB? What paint do I use? Should a gunsmith just Teflon coat it? Thanks for any advice.
