Re: Actions
Chrome moly is harder and maybe more rigid, but it needs to be taken care of better so it doesn't rust. Stainless is slightly softer, but has the great benefit of being more rust-resistant than CM. I would recommend going with the same material you plan on your barrel being.

Re: Actions
There really is no "Better" choice. The quick and skinny of it is Chrome Moly is harder and resist extreme cold better. SS is a softer metal and easier to machine. I'd go SS unless you're building a rifle for extreme cold weather conditions or Blueing is desired.

Re: Actions
I do like the stainless barrels. I have great luck with them. I plan on painting the rifle. Would the two different materials hurt accuracy or not?

I do shoot in Nebraska all winter long. Sometimes it is around 20 Degrees. But I have shot my other actions in that weather.

Re: Actions
I don't think you will see an accuracy difference between the two as long as they are well made and chambered. Many of the benchrest rigs are using stainless so if you are wanting stainless, go with it!

Re: Actions
I don't think you will see much of a difference, I have no experience personally taking them apart, but I have heard that if no anti-seize is used the two materials can at times be difficult to take apart. This may have been from being improperly torqued or no anti-seize, just something I heard...
I don't think you will see an accuracy difference using a stainless barrel and a CM action.
Maybe WNRoscoe will weigh in on what I have said above about the two materials
