Re: Stainless mauser actions

I understand, these message boards are hard to catch the tone of a post sometimes.

The safety on the Winchester isn't the quietest thing in the world, but doesn't seem to be enough to spook game, as far as I can tell. You can ease it off with two fingers and it will be a little quieter. You might try a few at a gunshop close by and see if you are comfortable with it.

I don't know of a stainless Mauser action, maybe an Olympic or Vecktor? Awfully spendy if you go that route. Even here in Alaska I haven't had problems with blued actions, and I don't own a stainless rifle anymore. If really want a stainless type protection (or even more so), you might check with some of the aftermarket finish companies. There's a new Ceramic type coating that can be applied to the exterior of the action and barrel. The one I've seen and read reports about is Cerakote. I think a company called "Fit4Duty" or something like that, has the process down pretty well and is applying it to firearms.

Here's a link to their Website. Look for their Cerakote page, shows different colors also.

Hard Chroming might be another option.

Since you like the double set trigger, you might consider having a Kepplinger or Canjar single set trigger installed in the Winchester stainless. While it isn't the double trigger, you can push the Kepplinger forward and have the "set" down to as little as a couple of ounces, or up to about 2 pounds. Doesn't give you the look of the double triggers, though.
