Stainless ..... stains less.
Easier to maintain.
Not enough difference in "shiny" to matter, if you hold still. Movement, noise and odd scents (windward) will do more to spook deer than a shiny barrel.
Odds are, if you hold still and be quiet, if a deer comes in from upwind, he'll never see you, and if he does, he won't recognize you as a threat until it's too late. Often, if a deer senses danger with one of their senses, they'll try to confirm it with another before fleeing..... it takes a lot of energy to run away from every alarming sight, sound or smell, and when running, there is no guarantee that they are not running blindly into a real threat.
That said, all my hunting guns are blued.
