Question regarding Remington 700 Police .300 WM

Hello,

I am new on the board and I have a question, it might be a stupid question. I consider buying a Remington 700 Police, chambered in .300 Win Mag.

I did not find reliable information regarding barrel material (receiver was stated ordnance steel --> carbon steel). Is it stainless steel? Or carbon steel? A New Zealand site stated stainless steel black coated...?

The Remington LE site also does not provide more detailed info.

Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Scott

Thank you. That also was my thought.

Since this New Zealand homepage was the only one stating barrel material "stainless" I was confused.
