Stainless Steel barrels

I have heard that stainless Steel barrels gets less velocity than other barrels, it is a Shillen barrel, is there big differences between stainless Steel and other.

I don't think there is any difference in MV between blued and stainless.

Look in the Blue Book of Gun Values. Prices are given on blued guns down to 60-80% condition. Stainless only go down to about 95%... apparently stainless doesn't degrade nearly as much as blued in condition.
