There are two subjects at hand.
(1) Type of metal for a barrel. A very good barrel company told me if you shoot a barrel hot and keep on shooting, have a stainless barrel. If you let your barrel cool without getting it hot enough that you can't hold on to it, shoot a blue barrel. A chrome moly (blue) barrel will last longer than stainless if you don't shoot it "hot".
(2) Type of finish for a barrel. Having seen the reflection off a shiny (WBY) barrel from about a half mile distance, and watching a group of deer watching the same reflections, and then move to a different area as the shiny barrel approached, I will hunt with a barrel tht does not reflect light.
