Iv recently got a pretty well used beretta xtrema and I'm really impressed with the protection factor that the camo coating has given the rifle. They are a hard use rifle done right so it has got me...

The way I use mine I'm seriously considering ceracoating the stainless
The bits not ceracoated would stain up first use if it was blued
The howa also has a heavy barrel so that makes me like it...

If you are open to lever actions the sub x line is including 30-30 which would give you a very similar result

No reason at all
i was very close to doing that myself
Sako75/85 223,204ect would make an excellent donor too and are worth considering when you are looking to sink another $1000 into it

I was in the same boat and went with a 223 Montana and rebarreled with trueflight
Cost is about a grand all up to replace the barrel

Needed to be stainless for the way it's used
