I use a blued Savage 30-06 to hunt with. It does get wet and I have to be very diligent about drying it off, spraying it down with WD40 (water repellant) and then oiling it after having it in the woods especially when it snows or rains.
It seems that lots of people prefer stainless and composite stocks for hunting - more resistant to the elements. It's all what you like - no one else is going to care one way or another.
