Let me put you in my shoes. Bought a Savage 116 for the action. Dropped it in an MDT ESS chassis. Chamber is a 260 Dingo(wildcat based on 6.5-06). Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27x56. I had the same issue deciding between stainless and chrome moly. Go stainless and don't go back. I did testing on the two different barrel blanks (SS vs CM) and found the stainless to be a better choice for accuracy and barrel longevity in this cartridge. The BIG issue you have is twist and twist pattern. I went with a PacNor 3 groove. Made a HUGE difference and is much easier/faster to clean.
