I'm considering this "Savage 14" in .308. The tag says it's 'stainless steel'. To me, it just looks like it's been bead-blasted, but it's not really
stainless. My gun shop guy says it's a "special alloy" from Savage. But magnets are sticking to it. Maybe it's just a regular '14' that the factory
painted grey. Can anyone tell me what this finish is? I thought the SS version was the '114'...?
