I am going to buy the Model 70 in 30-06 for deer hunting. Does anyone have any comments on the Classic Stainless vs. the LT with blued finish and wood stock. I know that the stainless will be less likely to rust. However, how much of a real concern is this? Are there any downsides to stainless?

The wood looks better to me than synthetic. Is it really less accurate due to swelling ect.?

I am interested in the real world differences.

Thanks!
