Maybe I’m an idiot and this doesn’t matter but I’ve avoided stainless. Don’t want the sun to hit it just right and for the deer to see it.
this is me as well. just seems too 'flashy' for a woods gun.

Most stainless guns aren’t polished to a sheen. You would have a better chance of them seeing a reflection off your scope. I have a semi custom 700 in stainless that sits in a woodland camo McMillan stock. People either love it or hate it, but it damn sure has zero accuracy issues. I actually am a walnut/blued deer rifle kinda guy and have that too, again with zero accuracy issues. My opinion is that people have accuracy problems due to improperly torqued or improperly mounted scopes, improperly torqued action screws, poor stock fit/bedding, and bad shooting mechanics.
308 will get it done, 30-06 will do it a LITTLE better. Stainless is going to tolerate moisture. Blued has to be “taken care of”.
Get what ya want a get good glass. FYI, just ordered a VX3 on eBay for about 260.
