I mean who on here owns just one rifle? That's pretty boring...... tired

So you have a SS to beat the hell out of on those wicked brutal trips into the deer blinds and save the CM for gawking at the range, right? Hardly....

I had a Goens blue/walnut custom that got so wet from freezing rain that it formed a layer of ice over the entire rifle...hunted a few days like that. I'd toss it in the truck till it thawed, then wipe it down at night. It did fine.

OTOH I have watched SS rifles in Alaska bloom rust day after day doing nothing more than sitting in a rifle rack. My 375 H&H pre 64 M70 in Brown stock and CM Krieger did better in daily drenching on salt water and rain,because I cleaned it at night.

Of course they will rust if you don't treat them, and SS rifles do better...but blued steel will handle more abuse than you'd think if you give them some TLC.



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
