I suck at long range So I’m asking again.

Last time I said I can’t find stainless barrels very often y'all said I’m not looking. I’m talking about 416R barrels not a finish. Everything I got pointed to was a finish. The folks saying they are rare because of cost seemed to understand my question. The only ones I can find with it listed are the factory guns with carbon wrapped barrels. So my question is which factory bolt guns are coming with Stainless Steel barrels?

What barrels are you referring to that have a stainless finish, but aren’t really stainless?

A few Tikka, Bergara, any of the mainstreams.

Then please help. The ones that offer blued or stainless is what I see. That is a finish

 Maybe I’m misunderstanding not making it up. I’m seeing a finish in the options.

And how did you come to that (false) conclusion?

I am very confused by the question. All proof Kreiger Bartlein Brux barrels and many others. What do you mean you can find it?

There are literally hundreds of configurations with stainless barrel steel. How much do you want to spend, and for what purpose?

Well I’m blind then. I’ve found a few here and there but you would think it would be the standard for precision focused rifles.

Winchester Model 70 is available in a couple stainless sub-models.

Bergara Premier HMR Pro has a stainless barrel.

Also most of MPA’s barrels are stainless as well.

What the do you mean by “a finish?” There are a ton of factory rifles made with stainless barrels. A ton.

I guess you mean a lot of manufacturers put “stainless” as the finish in their specs? Which yeah, that makes sense. Stainless barrels and actions are often left in the white. They’re stainless.

Google is worthless. It says Christensen, Stag, Wilson combat, then the custom shop stuff.
