hunt4ever,
Welcome to this Forum; I see this is your first post here.
I am a bit unclear about your barrel. Does it have a "matte blue finish?" The deer will never know if the blue finish is matte or polished bright and blued. I would not hunt with a "bright" barrel. . I am a fan of the .264 and have a Mark X at the smith being rebarreled because I shot it a lot. When I get it back, I hope to shoot it for another 30 years.
A regular steel or a stainless barrel will "live" longer than the hunter who hunts with it every deer season. Again, welcome to this site.
Adam
