No I don't think so. I am still using a blued 1974 Brno Fox. That still looks good and has no rust. Blued is fine. Just look after it. Any serious hunter/shooter should realise that. I have a stainless rifle and I clean it the same amount as I do with the old Blue rifles. So no real advantage really.
I've seen the reports of these for a while now and have been waiting impatiently. I looked at one the other day and I thought very nice!! It was a bit heavier than a tikka, that will be the only reason to not buy one in my mind. Other than that it's an awesome looking/feeling rifle. Tikka?? Whats that??
