[QUOTE="skynimrod, post: 374135, member: 3551"] Like I said It's a matter of choice and let me explain in a little more detail in my reasoning. stainless is an up grade. rust proof no, rust resistant yes, but when it comes to black powder it is very corrosive. You want to clean Always after shooting, you cannot get lazy or U will pay. I have a retired TC Hawkins on my wall that's over 20 yrs old, and hunted with it. It's still fine (non stainless). My b/powder rifle today is a break-action, a lot easier to clean than the hawk, very light, all black (smoke stains don't show as bad), not to expensive. Plus the way b/powder guns are developing I might want to replace it next year. It's not a lifetime gun for me. Consider this #1 there are different stainless steels out there, #2 Is it a expensive rifle, and probably a keeper, #3 do U like the looks? My deer don't care if a Stainless gun kills them or not. Btw I do have stainless rifles, but not my b/p [/QUOTE]
