Absolutely no function differences other than a higher element resistant finish Thomas. If you properly maintain your firearms then this is even less of an issue. A decent cleaning and storage in anti rust gun bags and you will be good with either.

There are zero differences in functionality. The stainless model is simply better for hardcore use in nature's conditions. To me it also looks nice. I'm not saying a blues finish would get all rusted and messed up. I can do the same as long as you clean it. The stainless is just more resistant to rust and other stuff. A lot of my rifles are stainless just because I like the look. I also have blued stuff and they work just as fine. It actually takes a lot for a gun to start getting rusted and blemished. It would really have to be a neglected gun.
