Closest that I know of that was in production would be the now discontinued Blaser S2. Along with a number of other unique, modern innovations like a tilting block that never goes off face, adapted to scope use from the factory, etc it was finished in Blaser's proprietary finish that made it immune to almost any weather conditions.

French Gray has been totally normal on doubles forever. I see nothing wrong with stainless, especially as well executed as the rifle in the video.

I think Butch Searcy made a couple.

It's not a double but I got the the A-bolt in the center, stainless with walnut stock, for my son when he was 13. Everyone that sees that gun notices it, swoons over it, and asks about it. I imagine the same thing would happen with a walnut and stainless double.

@DelRock83,

i too have wondered about a stainless double rifle, functionally it would be hard to beat as an all weather, hunt anywhere gun. but i have never seen one.

special coating help, but stainless is hard to beat for corrosion resistance. with a nice wood stock, i agree with rubber head, it would be a stunner.

That Fuch’s is beautiful; though bright, shiny stainless isn’t ideal in a hunting situation.

I’ve seen some well-worn doubles that PHs carry that could almost pass for stainless…almost no blue remaining.

I’m with @Rubberhead when it comes to stainless and walnut. Here’s a few of mine. I had my go-to .30-06 bead blasted to dull the finish.

To each, his own,

Verney will make you a stainless double if you are prepared to pay for it
